Microsoft to Introduce Faster Security Disclosures

Starwax writes "Here's a very interesting strategy by Microsoft. After years of complaining about irresponsible disclosure of security alerts by grey hats, Microsoft will now confirm and discuss the vulnerabilities in a new pilot project launching on Tuesday. Advisories will be issued within one business day of a publicly reported security hole along with guidance and mitigation."

Microsoft isn't open on weekends? Is that too much to ask a multi-billion dollar company?

Waiting until monday (especially as weekend time is usually the best to schedule downtime) strikes me as a silly idea.
