Group Releases Anti-Disclosure Plan

dki writes "SecurityFocus reports that the Organization for Internet Safety (OIS), a group of 11 of the largest software and security companies, has released a public draft of a proposed bug disclosure standard. The document outlines a process for reporting and disclosing bugs that aims to eliminate releasing exploits to the general public. Not surprisingly, the OIS was founded out of a Microsoft-hosted security conference. Comments on the draft will be accepted until July 4th; the final copy will be released at the Black Hat Conference in Las Vegas."
