Comment Re:Exploits circulate after bug report (Score 2, Interesting) 185

If you are a black hat, and have a working exploit, you generally don't want to blast it all over the net, but use it judiciously to get as much as possible out of it before it is discovered. Once it becomes commonly known, and a patch exists, you know you don't have much time left, so you take advantage of it as much as possible.

I'm not saying that is the case with this particular exploit, but Microsoft wants everyone to believe that we wouldn't have to worry about exploits if those white hats would just stop finding problems with MS software.
