Maybe they weren't handed a sack of money, but as the article states "This was done in both a spirit of cooperation" so this suggests microsoft involvement and microsoft "owing you one" is not a bad thing for any company Also mentioning pivx in one breath with georgi guninski and @stake is pushing it a bit Pivx plays the media really really well by giving their spokespersons important sounding names as "Senior Security Researcher" (just as a sidenote I really suggest adding "engineer" in there something, makes it sound even more creditable.) now Thor is a nice guy and a true javascript wiz but you can hardly compare pivx with someone like georgi guninski who pioneered browser security. or the skilled employees of @stake who do "real" security work -- pivx - protecting your enterprise from malicious halflife exploits and XSS issues in error pages ;) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Georgi Guninski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2003 5:08 PM Subject: Re: [Full-Disclosure] Microsoft plans tighter security measures in Windows XP SP2 > On Fri, 31 Oct 2003 18:27:30 -0500 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd compare the probable cost of buying off > > Guninsky, the @stake crew, and the pivx crew, and compare that to the cost of > > actually fixing IE.
