Isn’t there a quote like that out there somewhere?
Here is something I found interesting….
Microsoft has learned from the WMF flaw and will put the lessons into practice, Fry Wilson said. The software maker will update its Security Development Life Cycle, a set of practices that Microsoft’s developers follow to prevent security vulnerabilities in products. The process includes the software maker’s threat-modeling system, which checks code for potential security problems.

I’ve gotta give it up to MS for releasing a patch in a record 10 days, but I did the unoffical patch as soon as it came out. Better to have it and need it, then need it and not have it.
Also in regards to the above paragraph, does it take an exploit like this to make MS change their ways? What about the blaster virus (I made good money that week)?
Only time will tell.
