"Apple's Month of Bugs" began with disappointments

We have already written about the campaign against bugs and vulnerabilities in Apple products, which were promised to devote two hacker activists Kevin Finister and LMH to January. Without a doubt, the loud and important event, however, on the second day of the month disappointed the observers.

Another first vulnerability (recall that the researchers promised to release a working exploit for each of the “holes” found) seemed to many a weak start, as it seems unlikely to bump into it in real life.

On the second day, Finistère and LMH described a bug in a third-party product, the VLC media player’s Open Source media player, which provoked angry reviews both in Apple-dedicated publications and in places like Digg . Community dissatisfaction is caused by the feeling that he was allegedly surrounded by a finger and under the cover of the Apple brand slipped a pacifier.

In any case, interest in the “Month Of Apple Bugs” has decreased considerably, despite the possibility of opening really critical places in the safety of the company's products. And if the public misses them, it is going to blame for this by the researchers themselves, who have discredited themselves in her eyes.
