Cryptographer Matthew Green accepted MalwareTechBlog's $500 challenge and flipped the terms: with @dinodaizovi as judge, if any version of GLM finds a pre-auth vuln in an internet-connected fridge — verified against hardware or confirmed by the manufacturer — MalwareTech pays $500 to Green's charity. The vuln must exist in real Internet-facing fridge configurations, as shown by Shodan scans or manufacturer admission. The spat began over whether 'Abliterated GLM' can find IoT vulnerabilities.
