: I usually keep the links of some interesting vulnerabilities posted in : this mailing list. But when I try to access them after 6 months or so, I : find that some of the links are invalid and some of them are pointing to : different posts? Why does this happen?
When the list administrators recieve a takedown notice or request to remove something, they delete the post. This causes the archive to re-index and renumber, causing the entire archive to change. This was noticed by several vulnerability databases that reference posts and the above was the explanation received. I suggested that instead of deleting the entire message, they should just remove the body of the post instead, and replace it with a brief note explaining the content was removed at the request of X. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
