Reporting the issue is good and I’m sure appreciated by all.

I appreciate that those who work in fields tracking down bad actors have a
natural tendency to start viewing everything through that same lens, but
assuming that every issue is cause by malice or stupidity gets really,
really tiring.

You're concerned with policing his tone instead of dealing with the
massive security failure -- on the part of *many* of us -- that this
represents?

If I have something horrible going on with a service/server/network/etc.
that I'm responsible for and I don't catch it, then I'm grateful to
anyone who reports it -- because they've caught my mistake, which is
helpful to me and to everyone impacted by it.  I'll worry about my
bruised ego later, it won't be the first time.  Or the last.
