Microsoft to Publish Blue Hat Findings

An anonymous reader wrote to mention an InfoWorld article about Microsoft's plan to publish some of the findings from last week's Blue Hat conference. From the article: "'Everything was fair game,' wrote SQL Server engineer Brad Sarsfield in a blog posting. 'Hearing senior executives say things like: 'I want the people responsible for those features in my office early next week; I want to get to the bottom of this' was at least one measure of success from my point of view for the event.' The Blue Hat name is a play on the Black Hat conferences, which have occasionally been criticized by IT vendors. The 'Blue' part comes from the color of badges that Microsoft staffers wear on campus." They have descriptions of some of the sessions up on the site for your perusal.

Yep, that along with the fact that every MS program, every employee, every line of code is infested with pure evil and 100% eaten up with lies and greed. So this group of "blue hats" are just undercover MS public-relations employees trying to make a believable report that attempts to brainwash everybody to think that MS really does care about security. Zealots are so entertaining!

Could MS actually be taking security seriously?

Naaahh...

I think Microsoft takes anything seriously that they can make money off, especially if it involves charging you for protection against the results of Microsoft's own cockups.
