I wouldn't bash the guy. Someone already let him know about his technical faux pas in a professional manner on his twitter.

My guess is he found this vulnerability on accident, freaked out, and tweeted about it. Probably has limited infosec experience.

Or he cares more about doing the right thing than about following best practices designed to protect the guilty under the guise of helping users.

I don't know, he's tweeted more about the topic: https://twitter.com/lemiorhan/status/935619881143324673

So he's either not reading his replies or he's being deliberately irresponsible. My guess, based on his profile and online behavior, is that he's trying to ride the coattails of getting some exposure online.

Definitely. How many people outside the infosec industry know that responsible disclosure channels exist?
