Ask HN: Found a Vulnerability in a Netgear Router. Now What?
Can anyone help locate the correct contact at Netgear to report a security bug? I checked the various bounty program sites with no success. Tried LinkedIn no luck. Their site isn't particularly friendly either. It shouldn't be this difficult to report something. Just trying to do the right thing before going public with it.

I worked for NETGEAR, just until recently. They are quite a bureaucratic company of nature and your best bet would probably to just open a support ticket with them and hope they escalate it. If you're looking for some sort of reward it's quite unlikely.
Getting email addresses to higher ups with this little information also seems tough.
Send letter to proper state senator that company in his jurisdiction is ignorant to important safety warnings and delivered the product that threatens the security of his constituents.
If that will work - you'll attract proper attention.
