At least for us. DHS/NSA already has them thanks to Microsoft's renewed commitment to share "cyber-threat" data with them (a.k.a zero-days).
- genericresponse 12y agoI'm actually sort of glad that my national defense forces get a jump on this stuff. Especially if it's only a few days or a week to secure their systems and (for the clandestine services) to retool their exploits. I believe there are actual clandestine actions in the national interest happening and it would be nice to see those enabled. (e.g. Stuxnet/sabotaging foreign nuclear weapons development)
- walls 12y ago> DHS/NSA already has them Every major security company has them thanks to MAPP. I don't quite understand why people have such a problem with this program. You also can't ignore that the most recent linux vulnerabilities were privately disclosed to major vendors weeks ahead of time, as well.
