Microsoft under fire for threatening security
researcher with criminal investigation
On Wednesday, Microsoft published a blog post criticizing the researcher, who goes by
the handle Nightmare Eclipse, for publicly disclosing a series of bugs, including BlueHammer, RedSun UnDefend,
and YellowKey. The flaws affected products such as the Windows built-in antivirus
engine Defender, and the disk-encryption tool BitLocker.
Different posts on Nightmare Eclipse's
blog suggests that maybe the noted slopware vendor has been less than above board in
dealing with exploit disclosure.
