They only keep Mythos unreleased because they're out of compute.

Payouts by big corps on zero-day bounties is widely over-stated. They have a whole slew of small print that takes effect and allows them to cheapen their payouts. Also, no one's paying out bounties for finding exploits in lowly OpenBSD.

I agree with his take actually. I know this because there is 2 instances I have found zero day bugs in software but did not bother go reporting them because it was too much effort and did not know about the legalities of it, simply did not seem worth my time and potential legal risk.

They did not have a bounty program because they seemed to be one of those boring enterprise software companies and no easy way to contact so I just gave up and did not bother. Also seemed like they are the type to potentially send lawyers instead. Where I live its not great legally

I once asked a table full of penetration testers what happens if they can't find any vulnerabilities in a clients website and they all laughed at how ridiculous the question was. Every single one of them said that has never even come close to happening.
