I assumed they didn't, considering
mathieulh had to tweet them about the 9.5 encryption fuck up to bring it to their attention. But I try to make a habit not assuming
anything.
I know that Apple frequently credit Jailbreak devs for bringing security flaws to their attention.
I guess the sad fact is that it's likely only companies like Gateway that would be willing to pay for exploits.
But I still scoff at the suggestion that Smealum sold the exploits that made Ninjhax possible to Gateway and similar claims.
I think most of Gateway's exploits are developed in house.
I doubt those in the 3DS scene who brag about their undisclosed exploits or are particularly vocal about their anti-piracy stance are the same people who are selling exploits to Gateway.

That story sounds familiar, wasn't that guy in the Defcon documentary? Defcon is like Mecca for hackers.
