Microsoft Criticized for Requiring Video with Bug Report

Will Dormann, a senior vulnerability analyst and prominent figure in the cybersecurity industry, has criticized Microsoft for refusing to examine a bug report without an accompanying video explanation. Dormann contacted the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) last week with a clear description of the issue. In response to Microsoft's request, Dormann submitted a malicious video to comply with their requirement. This situation highlights the challenges faced by security researchers when attempting to report vulnerabilities to major companies.
