Mozilla Finds Flaw With Black Hat Video Stream

Posted by timothy on from the fair-play dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Mozilla web security researcher Michael Coates found a flaw in Black Hat's paid video feed. The flaw allowed him to watch a live feed of the conference for free instead of the $395 a head to connect. Unlike many presenters at Black Hat, Michael responsibly disclosed the flaw to organizers, who quickly fixed the issue."

    While I appreciate Mozilla's efforts, I think they should put more efforts into fending off the renewed assault from IE. According to these statistics, IE is on the path of eating Mozilla's lunch. And that's not good to hear.

    Insightful? Insightfullest! If there are deeper insights to be had than what the goatse man is so kindly offering to the internet day in day out, I don't wanna know them.

    Well... it is "insight" of a sort, isn't it?
