Gov't Vulnerability-Disclosure Program Draws Heat
AndreyF writes " Securityfocus.com reports: 'a long-anticipated program meant to encourage companies to provide the federal government with confidential information about vulnerabilities in critical systems took effect Friday, but critics worry that it may do more harm than good.' The article discusses both sides of the PCII question, but leaves me wondering why the pro argument rests on my trusting large corporate CEO's to 'do the right thing.'"

Ever notice the "beat the rush and see it early" link at the top of slashdot when a new story is about to come out?
Sounds good, doesn't it? To be able to view the pages linked to in the article before the tens of thousands of other slashbots click to view them.
Did it ever occur to you that you're taking part in cyber-terrorism?
That's right: Slashdot's editors are cyber-terrorists. They coordinate a DOS against small websites, and they attempt to collect moeny from people who wish to be spared the effects of said DOS. Terrorism, plain and simple.
You can fight this and other crimes by slashdot's editors by joining anti-slash. Anti-slash is committed to forcing the editors to own up to their numerous crimes against the geek community. Until our demands are met, we will relentlessly discredit them as a news service through trolling and other means.
Ask yourself, do tax cuts for big businesses create American jobs? Then compare it to this, will big businesses care about big government?
People don't exist to serve systems, systems exist to serve people.
Companies should be legally required to disclose vulnerabilities to government, with stiff penalties for failing to do so.
/. ?
Fuck no, companies should be free to do what they like.
It should also be made available via the Freedom of Information Act because we have a right to know that our information is being protected.
What's next? a declaration of communism being the only true option on
What's next? Microsoft doesn't disclose a vulnerability in SQL Server and the IRS database is leaked to hackers?
This is just one more reason why we need Open Sores in government. The official in Peru who blamed Microsoft over closed sores got it right. The citizen's right of information protection comes first and this can only be achieved through Open Sores software, where every citizen has the right to make sure their data is being handled properly.
What? a load of trendy left wing tossers trawling through valuable code, well we all know how those wankers came up with linux.
Closed source products have no business in government (or really anywhere for that matter) and should be outlawed.
What fucking planet are you from and can you go back now?
