Rebooting responsible disclosure!

I am very proud to see this official blog post out:

• "Rebooting Responsible Disclosure: a focus on protecting end users"

I am proud of this post not because it adds a yet another voice in the ongoing debate; I am proud because I think it is important and significant for a major commercial vendor to suck it up - and take a genuine, passionate stand behalf of all users instead.

The rhetoric invoked by most software vendors today is very one-sided, and aims to portray the disclosure debate as a petty feud with selfish, arrogant researchers oblivious to the realities of doing business. I find this disingenuous - and so, I sincerely hope that this blog post sets a brand new stone rolling.

PS. On a related note: it's now $3,133.7!
