Black Hat 2026: Why Threat Researchers Are Hoarding Zero-Days
This AI Security Podcast episode, released September 15, 2026, is a broadcast interview hosted by Ashish Rajan. Casey Ellis, founder of Bugcrowd and pioneer of Disclose.io, calls the flood of low-quality, noisy vulnerability submissions a slopdemic rather than a vulnpocalypse, and discusses why skilled researchers are hoarding zero-days.
