From: guninski at guninski.com (Georgi Guninski) Subject: Organization for Internet Safety (OIS) formally announced So this is a bunch of companies, now what? I want to question the credibilty of this bunch. Everyone can register an .org and claim to be the most important bunch on earth. According to: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/news/standard.asp from November 2001 "... @stake, Bindview, Foundstone, Guardent, Internet Security Systems and Microsoft announced their intention to form an organization whose purpose will be to propose industry standards for handling security vulnerabilities." (basically not to disclose 0days) So what? Georgi Guninski http://www.guninski.com Steven M.
