Microsoft Blames the Messengers

Roger writes: "In an essay published on microsoft.com, Scott Culp, Manager of the Microsoft Security Response Center, calls on security experts to "end information anarchy" and stop releasing sample code that exploits security holes in Windows and other operating systems. "It's high time the security community stopped providing the blueprints for building these weapons," Culp writes in the essay. "And it's high time that computer users insisted that the security community live up to its obligation to protect them." See the story on Cnet News.com."

"It's high time the security community stopped providing the blueprints for building these weapons,"

It's probably high time that Microsoft stop building houses made of straw to defend against big bad 'net wolves... It'd sure make a lot of our lives easier...

It is good to note the use of the terrorist rhetoric, "...blueprints for building these weapons...". Talk about riding on the coattails. This seems more like a line out of the evening news than a statement about software security. Spin doctors working overtime on this one.
