Microsoft Kicks Off Third-Party Bug Warnings
Pigskin-Referee writes "Microsoft has expanded its vulnerability disclosure policy to include not only those in its own products, but also flaws in third-party software that runs on Microsoft operating systems. These will follow the same practices as the advisories issued for Microsoft's products, and it makes sense, because many users look to Microsoft to ensure that their computers are secure, even when the problem lies with a third-party program. The company will contact and coordinate with the third-party vendor before an advisory is issued."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
