Thoughts on an IE bug
by Acidus at 9:31 pm EST, Jan 22, 2010

How big does a vendor need to be, or how much market penetration into a country's technology, military, and defense corporations can a vendor have, before they don't get to decide the time table for fixing a security vuln?

At what point does a security hole stop being a sexy software bug and starts being a national security threat?

When did international corporations start making foreign policy decisions far louder than a Nation State?

This is a crazy time.

Did you know about this?

Meron Sellen, a security researcher at BugSec, an Israeli firm, quietly reported the vulnerability to Microsoft in September, according tosecurity firm Kaspersky.

Microsoft confirmed it learned of the so-called “zero-day” flaw months ago.
