Bonnie, what security risk does posting an encrypted version of the string "P100D" pose to Tesla or its customers?
Bonnie wasn't saying that what wk057 did posed any risk. She was addressing another post that suggested that all security vulnerabilities should be made public.
This was the post she had quoted, and thus was responding to:
As a fellow stockholder, wk057 and anyone else should be doing their due diligence to keep Tesla on it's toes and release any and all found information. This helps improve the company by instilling better practices. A sloppy software company is a dead software company.
I believe her point is that the white hat hackers take their information to the company privately, so that exploits can't be taken advantage of. They don't release it. (That's what black hat hackers do.)
Interestingly, wk057 has posted that he received a bounty from Tesla some months ago for doing exactly that.
