Replying to Rob Hamilton's post about how quickly a newcomer joined the bug hunt, Kevin Kelbie says he is hunting vulnerabilities himself after being inspired by that work and disclosed one the previous day. Held as a first-hand data point on the Red Team campaign's recruitment effect, seen from the recruit's side rather than the organisers'. The disclosure is not identified: no project, report or date is given beyond "yesterday", and nothing about it can be checked here. The account is the poster's own.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
