    folks,

    as it was announced few minutes ago that "3Com launches
    vulnerability-buying program" (through TippingPoint, a company 3Com
    acquired earlier this year)

    http://www.securityfocus.com/news/11253
    http://www.zerodayinitiative.com/

    so what do you think about this step? Obviously, they are trying to
    fight public disclosure of security vunl's (that why bugtraq exists)
    and buy the information so they can have 0day signatures to
    TippingPoint IPS solution.

    Ghaith Nasrawi.
