Major software firms may be neglecting security vulnerabilities and putting their users at serious risk, according to bug-hunters at Swedish security firm Defcom. The group says the situation has forced it to consider publicising the details of several exploits which would cause the companies involved severe embarrassment.
Although Defcom says the majority of firms respond quickly to alerts, it claims that at least two large firms have failed to get back to it over a number of months. It is now holding last minute discussions with the firms, but says it is still considering releasing details.
