How disappointing that they wouldn't even give a simple "Thank you" for you going out of your way to actually inform them. Don't they realize you could've just harvested the user contact info for a quick buck and sold a cracked version of the app for weeks/months before they realized it?

Okay, good job code monkey. Now move along, we have to get back to focusing on our shitty business.

Oh, the guy from support was fairly polite. I cut down his responses a bit for the sake of brevity but I'll clear that up.

For example the initial exchange was:

> Hey Tristan, thanks for reaching out to us about this. We really appreciate you telling us about this. We don't have a bug bounty scheme, but I've forwarded your feedback to our software team. Thanks again, Tristan.

Out of interest, how does one go about selling user contact info like that?
