sure that I'm properly signed up, they have a web form you plug your email
into and that's it. No confirmation email, no welcome message, in fact no
traffic at all.

I got a majordomo confirmation about 10 hours after submitting on the web form. I also got a note (strangely, after I confirmed) that said it was a closed list, meaning that subs had to be approved by the moderator.

I've received 10 posts since then. They seem to be more-or-less as advertised. Content is roughly similar to the public vulnerability database from SecurityFocus.

This is either a scam to collect email addresses or a VERY poorly run
mailing list from a company that is trying to wear a big set of boots. Or
they have a broken subscription engine. In any event "A-" for marketing
effort and "F-" for execution.

One gets the impression that they might be a bit low on resources at them moment. People or equipment, I can't tell.
