WTF!—-
What just happened here?
What happened to non-partial security lists?
———————-
Just in case you have not heard… Symantec is acquiring Security-Focuse. Below is the e-mail I just received from Al that he sent out to all of the lists.
Today, SecurityFocus and Symantec announced that Symantec is acquiring
SecurityFocus. Symantec sees real value in the services SecurityFocus
provides to its customers and believes they are an excellent fit with
their current offerings. We at SecurityFocus see this as an opportunity to
provide even better services in the future.
Symantec is also cognizant of the value and uniqueness of the public
services SecurityFocus provides to the community,such as the numerous
mailing lists we host and the content we provide via SecurityFocus Online.
In short this means the lists you are reading this will remain as is given
Symantecs commitment to the future growth and health of the community wehave all built here.
Cheers,

I don’t know the terms of the agreement. But It can’t possibly be in the favor of the community.
Might as well let M$ own the NT-Bugtraq list!
