O’McAfee, Where Art Thou

Some friends on the “inside” were horrified when McAfee bought ScanAlert. It’s ironic that McAfee are  now busted with basic web vulns on their own sites.

Curphey’s Law: When you create (or participate in) a security market based on low cost, expect (or deliver) low quality.

This is the same argument I have against PCI certification BTW.
