hackers@microsoft.com is a new blog at Microsoft brought to our attention by greg hughes (thanks, greg!). The first post of the blog – at https://blogs.msdn.com/hackers/ says:
“Welcome to a new blog from Microsoft. The focus of this blog is likely to be a little different from most other blogs you’ll see on blogs.msdn.com. Microsoft employs some of the best hackers in the world and actively recruits them and develops them. They work on all kinds of projects, whether it be in development, research, testing, management and of course security.
… We employ “white hat hackers” who spend their time pentesting and code reviewing applications and software looking for weaknesses and vulnerabilities so that others don’t once we’ve released that code into the wild.”
Greg concludes that Microsoft is doing “a lot of things right” when it comes to security. Time will tell if this blog will offer more insight to prove that point.
