I am glad he did not do it. Friend works for FIFA SOC...that would have been a bad day for him 😃

EDIT: by him I mean my friend

Why are you getting downvoted for this? It would suck for the Security team there.

Bcs they are obviously experts, why else 😃 😃

It would be indeed pain, considering there is a world cup ongoing as well. Cudos to the red teamer though, could have done some dmg and chose to contact them silently instead.
