You could try reporting them (the exploits) anonymously to a government agency

The German "Chaos Computer Club" (hacker club) has a disclosure service. They approach the affected party as the club, hiding the persons identity. Not sure if they do it internationally as the page is in German. But nice idea and not a government agency.

So they can exploit it in secret for their own benefit?

  • If you have so little trust in your government (maybe you're American?) it might be time for change!

    • Considering Snowden files have shown they intentionally hoard 0days, I don't think it's so much a lack of trust as it is a proven track record of their behavior.

    • No shit. Mind telling us how? Because elections sure aren’t going to do it.

      edit: sorry, there is so much of this sentiment, and the system is proven to be rigged. We know that things have gotten bad. Really bad. And there’s little hope of it self-correcting. The corruption is too deep and now seems unabashed. I seriously do want advice on how to change things, but three out of the four boxes meant to preserve liberty have proven to be inadequate. I see no future that doesn’t involve violent upheaval. Convince me otherwise.
