Date: Thu Jun 8 21:28:54 2006 From: p.nolan at comcast.net (Patrick Nolan) Subject: NewsForge Article: Can the malware industry betrusted? Aside of the quality of the article, the title of the article is a misnomer. The "malware industry" would represent authors of malware, something that the named organizations are not part of: "players like McAfee, Symantec, and dozens of other firms fight for a share of a market worth tens-of-billions of dollars a year. I would like to think that this industry displays the same high degree of ethical standards and integrity shown by other first-responders..." A proper (yet still silly) title could then be "Can the antimalware industry be trusted?" After reading the article, trust really wasn't at issue as much as the author has a beef with certain organizations over the announcement of alleged inflated statistics and also allegations of fear mongering.
