Secunia Drops Public Listing of Vulnerabilities

Posted by timothy on Friday June 19, 2015 @02:33PM from the market-opportunityism dept.

New submitter CheckeredShirt writes: Vulnerability aggregator Secunia just announced on a forum post that they will no longer provide public access to advisories newer than 9 months. According to Secunia they, "frequently encounter organizations engaged in wrongful use of Secunia Advisories," and that VIM customers, "have full access to all advisories." While Secunia is under no obligation to provide their aggregated vulnerabilities they've been doing it for over 10 years. The information they provide is primarily from public sources.
