Dailydave: Re: Speculation

["Thomas Ptacek" <tqbf () matasano com>]

Dan not telling us what he found: fine.

Dan telling the press he found something awesome: fine.

Dan arguing that for the good of the Internet, the public can't know
what he found until he gets on stage at Black Hat: fine.

Dan and Paul Vixie telling people they can't go find it themselves
because they're running a secret cabal that has decided that certain
ISPs get to know what the vulnerability is, but some of the world's
largest financial institutions don't? NOT FINE.

What can I do about it? Nothing.

Am I pissed at Dan about it? No. His finding, his terms.

Do I feel bad about the hits Dan is taking? Grow the fuck up.
