Pwnie Awards 2010 should be condemned by the security community

["andrew.wallace" <andrew.wallace () rocketmail com>]

I nominated Tavis Ormandy for "Most Epic FAIL" but it didn't get shortlisted, 
probably because Pwnie awards is biased because all of the judges carry out the 
same questionable activity as he does.

It is disgusting that people like Laurent Gaffié and Tavis Ormandy are being 
made heros for putting everyone on the internet and beyond at risk by making 
irresponsible disclosures behind Microsoft's back.

People like Gaffié and Ormandy shouldn't be awarded for anything, instead their 
behaviour should be condemned by the security community.

Tavis Ormandy's recent disclosure was the first real case of cyber terrorism 
n3td3v Security has said in a statement on its blog.

The "winners" of Pwnie awards are due to be announced at BlackHat USA security 
conference on July 28, 2010.
