Microsoft to Introduce Faster Security Disclosures

Posted by timothy on from the mistakes-were-made dept.

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."

  1. Ask Slashdot: does getting sucked count? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    I've got this gay friend-of-a-friend who says he wants to suck me off. I told him that I am not gay and he says he knows that - but he also says that getting sucked off by another man is not really gay sex so I don't have to worry. I'm not going to turn into a fag or something.

    I still don't know about it. I mean I know it shouldn't feel any different if I get sucked by a guy or a girl, but having a dude fondling my wiener still kind of creeps me out.

    What do you think?

      If you need to consider it, then you are already gay :)

    What "illegal" things can a Grey Hat do that is not unethical?

    A greyhat just turned eighteen. His seventeen year old boyfriend will turn eighteen in two weeks. So the greyhat offers up his asshole for a ravaging and it is illegal but it is not unethical.

    It happens everyday.
