- josefx 6y agoThey probably work for some company and can you imagine the shit storm if it ever came out that Microsofts board of directors signed off on a Microsoft dev. actively submitting vulnerabilities into the Linux kernel?
- seoaeu 6y agoAn IRB and a board of directors aren't remotely similar. UMN actually does have a board of trustees but they've had literally nothing to do with this incident. The senior administration (and the CS&E department prior to the mailing list blowup) never even knew that this research was happening.
