> Why did you wait until the article was ready to be published to inform them?
AFAIK the OP did not start writing his article until after they resolved it, which they did within 24 hours.
quoting the blogpost now, "firstly because I hadn't fully thought through the impacts at the time"
The issue was overlooked by OP up until concerns were voiced by other community members which ultimately got the problem patched within 24h of it being noticed.
You claim "the amount of negative spin in the article left a bad taste in my mouth.", but you seem to be the only one spinning quotes out of context to fit your narrative

No, the article says he did not report it (I don't know what you mean by "within 24 hours") and that he started writing before they fixed the issue. From the article -
> Fortunately for everyone else, the latest RabbitOS update (v0.8.112) addressed this issue while I was midway through writing this article.
From parent comment -

The second sentence in the post begins with
> Critics unanimously agree that it sucks
And follows up with
> A week or so ago I bought an R1 on eBay for £122 (which is still way more than it's objectively worth). So why did I buy this garbage, in full knowledge of its garbage-ness?
The hostility toward the company is infused in the article.
Agreeing with the reviewer consensus that the product is mediocre is not "hostility". My blog post, on my personal blog, delivers objective technical analysis along with my personal opinions.
I don't owe anyone an emotionless regurgitation of facts, it would be incredibly boring.
The issue was first overlooked up OP, see quote from my previous comment.
Vuln was first mentioned in the community server on the 10th of July at 22:21 GMT+2
Rabbit then right on cue, on the 11th of July at 22:00 GMT+2 release the new OTA and patch notes, quickly followed by their security announcement 31 minutes later.
OP was the one who found the existence of these logs which were overlooked at first, until community members realized the contents of these logs and inability to remove them could be harmful
