Microsoft closed the case after the reporter refused to submit a video of the exploit

They don't have any actual fucking security experts there, so they require video proof that ape will understand.

Posting zero day exploits on github is a shit move. But Microsoft should be happy that this guy posted it on github rather than selling it on the black market.

Banning his guthub account won't make zero day vulnerabilities go away ffs.
