The two hackers laughed off the comment. "It is a double-edged sword, but what we're doing is really for the greater good of the Internet, we're setting up communication networks for black hats," Wbeelsoi said.
This looks like pure asshattery to me. It can't be said that the FF devs are unresponsive to bug reports or that they don't give credit, or that they drag their feet on fixing bugs. Heck, they don't even seem to mind reporting the bugs themselves while they're still working on a patch. ...but to try to pretend that it's for the good of the Internet that these guys keep their private exploits so that they can have their own little botnet is just bullshit.
