Can Windows' keepers adapt fast enough to meet "swarming" security challenges? eEye Digital's founder calls "insane" the 200-day delay between its report of a Windows security flaw and Microsoft's response, in a 2/10 Reuters story.
Marc Maiffret, co-founder of eEye Digital Security, told Reuters that his company discovered and reported the flaw to Microsoft six months ago. A Microsoft representative responded that the pervasiveness of the software flaw required time to fix. A representative of Network Associates urged regular use of Windows Update to keep the popular operating system in proper form to resist known security threats.
