You've got to wonder who these "experts" are.
Uhmm, really? Google is your friend.
By releasing unofficial patches, all you're doing is aiding the hackers, it doesn't help the situation one little bit for the overall picture of protecting Microsoft consumers.
I take it that English is not your first language. Again, google is your friend. Please see search?q=security. Maybe you would be interested in the old anti.security.is ( http://web.archive.org/*/anti.security.is ).
The majority of consumers aren't getting your unofficial patches, but you can be sure the hackers are using them, and using them to their advantage.
At least the hackers[sic] are safe from themselfs?
If these unofficial patches weren't being released and experts weren't telling people to use them, I wouldn't be calling for Microsoft to bring forward the release date for the patch before the end of the week.
And if they were not released then you would just sit back do nothing. Quite similar to what you are doing now, minus the incessant trolling.
It's the "experts" here who have now made the situation ten times worse, by giving their very bad advice and releasing their own unofficial patches.
We, try, to, follow, your, vociferation, but, it, is, hard, to, at, times.
Well done the experts,
Thank you, - The Experts
You deserve the title after all
You know that we all do it for the fame, right? For without acknowledgement it is futile. Anyways, I'm still waiting for n3td3v to troll the mailing lists with goatse, lemonparty, tubgirl or similar. That is the next logical step after this, right? _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
