Oracle Zero-Day Flaw Project Cancelled

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the patches-not-so-welcome dept.

Benny Folds writes "Cesar Cerrudo of Argeniss has suddenly cancelled plans to release daily zero-day flaws in Oracle databases during the first week in December. Just days before the project was due to start, Cerrudo announced that 'due to many problems,' the WoODB (Week of Oracle Database Bugs) is being scrapped. He did not elaborate on the reasons for the cancellation."

    "Goes to show that while Microsoft, the RIAA, the MPAA, and the other big boys will just throw cease and desist letters and lawyers at you, Larry Ellison will skip that and just fuck you up. Have you SEEN that guy? He eats nails for breakfest." You don't become a [B,M]illionaire by being nice. All of those organizations/people will knock you off if you threaten their profits. It's cheaper the court and easier today.
