RE: Web site auctions software vulnerabilities to highest bidder

Big freaking deal! There's no shortage of dolts offering so-called vulnerability data for sale to the highest bidder. Caveat emptor! Don't buy the hype. For every meat-pie offering some way to circumvent security operations there are dozens of already existing issues in most networks that represent a higher level of risk. The low-water phenomenon means that hackers and nardowells really don't have to have lists of vulnerabilities to exploit a system.
