In the past, full disclosure benefited everybody and it was a way to gain notoriety among the community. It's taken years to get people to accept "responsible disclosure" (ie, giving software companies time to fix the vulnerability before full disclosure). We know that the NSA, FBI, and CIA have asked software companies, like Microsoft and Cisco, not to patch vulnerabilities. These agencies used these vulnerabilities to their advantage to spy on others. OK, that's what they do. Ethics? Define it.
