Considering they kinda botched the disclosure to Linux distros, I guess they wanted something most sensational to sell more licenses.

- eddythompson80 5mo agoHow did they botch the disclosure to distros?
- Orygin 5mo agoThey did not make a disclosure to the distros
- pixel_popping 5mo agostrategically botched ;)
- psifertex 5mo agoThey did not, in fact, botch anything. They notified the responsible party and followed a practice that is pretty much the accepted norm (and for good reason). How recursive should their notifications be? Just the tip three distros? The top dozen? Every embedded Linux router company? How about every hosting provider? They did what they're supposed to without being paid for it. The only other good source of funding for security research besides marketing budgets for security companies will NOT result in a disclosure timeline you'd be happier with. ;-)
- Orygin 5mo agoBut they most probably did get paid for it, they have ads for their shit all over the website.
