I'm not saying it wasn't a bad thing, but the morals aren't quite the same as punching a bank teller and running with $200k as it is sneaking a bit of code and submitting it on the down low. Theft is theft, but it's far more easier to do and has less consequence when you're just a face online.
Yeah ofc it is easier but it's just as bad. Robbing an old lady on the street is way easier than robbing a bank, but it's just as bad (if not arguably WORSE)

I hope you joking, would you like to someone take all your money?? Super dick move I hope the person that found the bug gets the deserved money, and for Kate she should be ashamed and burn in hell.

No I'm not joking. I would do it without second thought if I was in their position.

At least we can always count on SciresM to develop CFWs and crack 3DS without getting involved in drama (and Reisyukaku for making ReiNAND, boginstaller, and soon-to-be ReiNX)

Ironic how it was no one other than SciresM who dropped the bomb

You should stop to look at HackerOne submissions from time to time. You'll be surprised to see some familiar names.

Things change, and White Hatting is very, very lucrative.

Anyone know if she submitted it to Ninty or someone else?
Because some say nothing got disclosed to Nintendo and only to Nvidia

If it's the latter, then it's just dramatic bullshit.

However, it sounds like the bug bounty from Nintendo. So, who knows... Ugh

Most people have morals or at the very least enough of a heart to give the person who deserves it SOME of the 200k you stole from them.


Not that I agree or disagree with what kate did but morals are subjective and each person can have different morals. To kate maybe doing this is within her moral spectrum, to you it might not be.

This is why some stuff in different cultures is frowned upon by us, meanwhile they view it as something that is moral.

Also we need to point out that this was not Fusee Gelee (she discovered that) this is a new bootrom exploit that could potentially have given us a entrypoint on Mariko and the new patched units:

That fact actually makes it even worse. She stopped us as users from getting homebrew on newer units for money.

If its coming out just as these units with the patch are also coming out, I suspect we might have had two birds with one stone get killed.

No I wouldn't. Those are not similar at all to merely losing an online personality as describer by Chary.
You're still stealing money. We're not talking about consequences, we're talking about actions. Stealing 200k from someone just because no consequences will come directly is still stealing 200k, and still VERY WRONG. I really hope some kind of legal action comes out of this and the person who deserves the 200k gets it.

The irony is that she disclosed the bootrom exploit to Nvidia because she was trying to act morally superior to TX when in reality she was never morally superior to begin with xD

Not only did she steal 200k from someone, she also prevented further work and progress in the scene for a quick buck.
