They do want you to communicate with them (or vendors) in a more
responsible manner
but at the same time totally admit to their "PR issue" and how they
have handled bug
finders in the past and internal security in the past and are changing.
There are lot of ppl. 'here' who have bitter experiences to share. Every one grows up and isn't immune to mistakes, so does the companies. Its very funny to see ppl. run after a particular vendor for years&years with a feeling of REVANGE. In a time frame policies change, ppl. change and things change in a way... its no-longer the one that you use to hate!
I also did enjoy unloading 1500$ worth of paint all over them =)
Whenever i hear such discussions, for me it rymes like i hate Microsoft cauz it costs me $$$. Suppose, if windows haven't cost a penny... i think, the noise against it would have been a lot lower! huh! these ppl. who shout 'against' are ppl. who were taught about security by their mentors (socalled hackers) who always tried advertising, the product we use is 133t than that of our competators. Later when these brain-washed kids grew to be a man...... they start the same vicious cycle. I've nothing against open source & there are lot of times i prefer it over other softwares. But, to those of you... isn't it time to grow UP and stop nagging!~~~ - Bipin Gautam http://bipin.sosvulnerable.net/ _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
