GitHub bans security researcher who posted zero-day Windows exploits

What's the backstory on this researcher? They seem to have a personal vendetta against Microsoft and thus releasing zero days that he found with the help of AI?

Seems like the gold rush period is over for bounty hunters and its more about who has access to hardware/token capital.

I can’t help but feel Microsoft will regret this.

Guy finds zero days and gets no compensation. Instead gets banned.

Guy sells zero days elsewhere.

Is there any public word from Microsoft about what is going on here? Why would both Microsoft and Gitlab ban the user? I thought both platforms allowed hosting exploits and security research as long as everything is clearly marked up-front, I'm guessing some rules were broken?

Shoot the messenger. That’ll fix it.

Researcher seems a bit unhinged.

Surely, the public string of exploits means he can find gainful employment from any of the various spooks?

The optics don't look good for Microsoft, but we don't know their side of the story.

Looks like they’re banned on GitLab as as well?

This is such a bad idea and what the point anyway? Once 0-day is out its out.

Almost like trying to censor leakef HDCP key.

Basic conflict of interest stuff

MS owns GH. It's tonedeaf and criminal
