Critics fume after GitHub removes exploit code for Exchange vulnerabilities
- LinuxBender 6y agoThis should not surprise anyone. Microsoft own Exchange. Microsoft own Github. Thinking like a lawyer, I would be surprised if that repo lasted 24 hours. It would last longer on a repo not owned by them as they have to submit the takedown requests to the provider, registrar, etc... Some providers would tell them to pound sand. I am not saying that what they did was right or wrong, just that it should not be a shock to anyone.

- cjohansson 6y agoClicks = food on their table, who can blame them really?
