Submission + - Symantec 'borrowing' from independent researchers?

An anonymous reader writes: Symantec posted a paper late last week on what they called Drive-By Pharming; attacks on home network hardware via a user's browser. Interesting stuff.

What is perhaps just as interesting is that the exact techniques described by Symantec appeared here in Joe Walker's blog over a week earlier. Are Symantec borrowing other peoples' research without giving credit or is this just a coincidence?
