Secunia Moves to Displace CERT, SecurityFocus - Ryan Naraine, InternetNews
Danish security research firm Secunia has launched a new mailing list to compete directly with entrenched security advisory clearinghouses like the CERT Coordination Center and Symantec-owned SecurityFocus. Secunia's move to launch its own list of vulnerability alert is in direct retaliation for what it describes as "censorship" and the deliberate delays of warnings while paying customers get special treatment. It is the second time a security flaw finder has criticized the policies of the federally funded CERT/CC to sell early access to vulnerability warnings long before vendor fixes are made available to the general public.
