October 31, 2004SecurePoint sees backlash from hiring Sasser AuthorYou had to know this was coming. According to Heise Online (Babelfish translation required as its in German) H+BEDV has concerns with SecurePoint hiring the author of the Sasser worm; they have cut ties with the company for "the good of their customer". Although they sympathize with giving the author a second chance, the reality is they cannot do it at the risk of their customers. That was EXACTLY what I was saying before. This is a bold move on the part of the antivirus company. You want to work with other security vendors when you can... however ethics, professionalism and the constant vigilance to protect their customers take precendence over a partnership. And that is what they SHOULD be doing; it was the right decision. Posted by SilverStr at October 31, 2004 07:35 AM | TrackBack |
