If you found a vulnerability in a device or operating system that would could give you millions of credit card numbers or millions of peoples private information (lets assume you did the equifax breach or something similar) What would you do?
>Sell the information on the black market for a fortune but this essentially makes you a criminal and have to look over your shoulder for the rest of your life
>Sell it to an advertising company
>Hold the company you found the vulnerability of to ransom, again making you a criminal
>Go turn in your vulnerability and collect one of the bounties (lets assume its one of these nice $1million ones)
>Turn in the vulnerability for free just to make the world of technology a better place
>Give out the vulnerability for free to anyone on the internet and let them cause chaos and hopefully it will in turn make all the technology companies take security more seriously.

1 million dollars is a nice sum of money. I think I'd go with that option.
Report it, and hope for a job at the company.
