Open Source Vulnerability Database Shuts Down (osvdb.org)

Reader StonyCreekBare writes: From the Blog at osvdb.org "As of today, a decision has been made to shut down the Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB), and will not return. We are not looking for anyone to offer assistance at this point, and it will not be resurrected in its previous form. This was not an easy decision, and several of us struggled for well over ten years trying to make it work at great personal expense. The industry simply did not want to contribute and support such an effort."

They probably shut down because the MITRE's CVE database is pretty much regarded as the canonical database for all vulnerabilities, open and proprietary. I've not see a security advisory that didn't have a CVE number for a long time. I don't remember ever seeing one with a reference to OSVDB.
