    Another shocking bug, this really is unacceptable, these types of companies should hire people who can spot these type of flaws!

    improbable, too expensive. if i had the skill to detect such flaws, i could sell it in the dark web or to the company for lot of cash; i won't be satisfied with a poor monthly salary when i can get hundreds of grands in one shot.
    Some companies even employs tons of blackhats to specifically find and sell vulnerabilities to the best buyers.
