Microsoft Patches: When Silence Isn't Golden | |

| Time: 00:20 EST/05:20 GMT | News Source: eWeek | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

Microsoft has 'fessed up to hiding details on software vulnerabilities that are discovered internally, insisting that full disclosure of every security-related product change only serves to aid attackers. The software maker admits to withholding details on security vulnerabilities to protect customers from bad guys, but critics say that policy increases the risk for everyone. | ||

Most of Firefox's 21 security holes (some very, very severe) still have embargoes on details.
I wonder what they are hiding? And why is eWeek missing a great opportunity to contrast and compare Microsoft and Firefox on this issue ... other than eWeeks traditional habit of kissing the ass of OSS. I notice some of these Firefox security catastrophes are over a year old. I wonder how old the secret ones are? |

| NotParker, you're dreaming if you expect the tech press to compare and contrast any vendor or their products with Microsoft if it means that it will put the vendors' products in a bad light. PC World, PC Magazine, et al, continue to trumpet Firefox over IE while never mentioning that Firefox has security issues as well. |
