Microsoft's Security Disclosures Come Under Fire

Old Banana writes "Is Microsoft silently fixing security vulnerabilities and deliberately obfuscating details about patches in its monthly security bulletins? Matthew Murphy, a security researcher who has worked closely with the MSRC (Microsoft Security Response Center) in the past, is accusing the software maker of 'misleading' customers by not clearly spelling out exactly what is being patched in the MS06-015 bulletin released on April 11."

Is Anyone is Surprised?

Let's see, company wants to avoid at all possible costs associations with the phrase "insecure" deliberately hides supposed insecurity. Hmmm...

Nothing new here.

I'll also add that this behavior will (if it hasn't already) find its way into more well-regarded systems (linux-based kernel OS's anyone?) given enough wealth is at risk.
