HackerOne breach lets outside hacker read customers’ private bug reports

I think this is a disproportionately negative title compared to what actually happened, and solely for one word, "breach".

My opinion is that it conveys something more serious than a bug. Thousands of secrets have been leaked on Github/Bitbucket, and we don't need to report every single one as a "breach".

For instance many AWS credentials have been reported as being leaked on HackerOne, but I don't see Ars writing an article for each one saying "X company breach let's outside hacker have full access to X's infrastructure"

The breach is here: https://hackerone.com/reports/745324

TL;DR: One user reported a bug to sign-in using cURL. HackerOne replied with admin credentials (session) to show that login works.

Nobody noticed. One guy logged in, downloaded a significant amount of sensitive data (private exploits!) and then told HackerOne. They give 20'000 USD to say nothing about it.

End of story.
