The U.S. Will Incinerate 500 Tons of Emergency Food Aid - The Atlantic

“Nearly 500 metric tons of emergency food—enough to feed about 1.5 million children for a week—are set to expire tomorrow, acc to current and former government employees with direct knowledge of the rations.

Within weeks, two of those sources told me, the food, meant for children in Afghanistan and Pakistan, will be ash.”

To any Austrailians being misinforned by Sky News, please know that Europe is just fine.

The fact that Sky News has found some social media clips of a few criminals committing crimes in Spain and France does obviously not mean that a continent of 744 million people “has fallen”. All it means is, Australia needs better media.

I received an email earlier this week from EA asking if I wanted to be added to a public acknowledgement page they were creating for individuals who responsibly disclosed vulnerabilities to them.

For all the shit people give EA, of the 100+ companies I contacted in the last two years, they were the only company I would say had a decent incident response.

They fixed the issue within 12 hours after validating it as critical, and proactively provided me multiple updates over time.

When the IR was done on their side, they reached out again with some more information about the potential impact if the issue hadn't been solved quickly, and also offered me a reward.

I did not have to keep chasing anyone for updates, I wasn't asked for non-disclosure, or offered money in exchange for it, and people replied instead of ignoring me.

I wasn't blamed for their mistake, either, or reported to the authorities.

Unfortunately, at least one or multiple of the things mentioned above are present in most of my other incidents reported; it's a real shit show out there.
