Well, they're incompetent - is it a big surprise that they have poor manners too?

Yea, and if they were actually breached and there were victims, the first thing they would do is issue a press release telling the world "We Take Security Very Seriously."

Is it legally differentiated if they respond to the reporter?

Or is there some weird loophole of "We didn't take action because of your message. We just happened to patch the same vulnerability after you mentioned it. We are not aware of any penetrations, because we didn't notice your message"?

Nobody knows.

But between taking an unknown legal risk, vs being seen as ungrateful, the choice for legal is quite clear.
