Database Vendors Shouldn't Kill the Messenger

August 5th, 2005 by Pete

I saw a good news article on eWeek earlier in the week and made a note to have a look. The article is written by Charles Garry and is titled "Database Vendors Shouldn't Kill the Messenger". The article starts with this opinion:

"Opinion: Hackers are a bigger problem than indiscreet security researchers, and vendors should focus on protecting their databases, not their reputations."

This is quite an interesting article with some good comments on the recent Mary Ann Davidson article that lambasted security researchers.
