Google Backs Open-Source CERT Group

Posted by timothy on from the finding-fault dept.

alphadogg points to a Network World story, which begins "Google has thrown its weight behind a fledgling security reporting group for the open-source community. The search engine giant, long a proponent of open-source software, is now one of three sponsors of oCERT, the Open Source Computer Emergency Response Team. Launched in late March, oCERT aims to be a clearinghouse for data on security vulnerabilities in open-source products."

    Their product is so easy to install that a grandmother could use it.

    As a 48 yo grandmother, feminist and C programmer I find this offensive.
