Heartbleed disclosure timeline: who knew what and when
I still like how these timelines are all about the big tech companies and not about governments, services and banks etc. These are arguably where some of the biggest risk targets are actually at (see today's post about Canada government's Revenue Services (tax agency) loosing people's info to heartbleed).We probably need a stronger web security system people can be on. Also some of the blame falls to the big companies, banks, telcos etc themselves, I mean who wants to report security flaws to Telcos in a world where they then turn around and instead of giving you a $15k bounty, send you to jail like Weeve. And ok that's not the best comparison because he went well beyond discovering and did exploit as well. But none the less, some of the big corporate world need to clue in and get more friendly with tech rather than hostile, because right now they don't have a very good reputation and so then tech leaves them out in the cold. Did anyone think about notifying telcos and banks much? or just other big tech companies.
