From being in the trenches a couple of decades ago, they do. They just don't disclose after they pay the bounty. They keep them to themselves. I knew one guy (~2010?) making good money just selling exploits (to a 3-letter agency) that disabled the tally lamps on webcams so the cams could be enabled without alerting the subject.
