Subject: Re: Google vulnerabilities with PoC

I don't see what OSI model has to do with anything here. Why is arbitrary
file upload to youtube CDN any worse than to google drive CDN? And how will
your "self-executing encrypted virus like Cryptolocker" end up getting
executed anyways? And cryptolocker was definitely not "self-executing", but
spread via email attachments (excluding the boring USB spread
functionality).

What you have here is not a vulnerability, just give up. And stop trying to
get "journalists" like Eduard Kovacs to spread your BS.
