I just set-up an account on there and sent a potential finding yesterday, then I got this "update" seemingly continuing on from prior memo like bulletins.

Also worth mentioning this has nothing to do with me, I've submitted and waited before and don't mind. I just find it slightly.. concerning? That the vulns are really starting to pile up.
