The researcher has already updated his post regarding the use of his company email. Apparently your original point still stands:

> I never contacted Facebook or Alex using my work email account. It was only after Alex contacted my employer via email that I sent a reply from my work account. Alex indirectly contacted me at work, not the other way around.

Also, why would he be doing this work at the behest of his employer when (IIRC) Facebook's bounty program only pays out to individuals? It would automatically make him ineligible to claim the bounty.

To me it seems like Alex Stamos tried to use some good old threaten-your-livelihood intimidation tactics and failed miserably.
