Apart from Android, all of Google’s products are web-based.

Hm… According to humminger you don’t need to develop the web based stuff. We’d better tell facebook that they can fire most of their developers…

And iOS users don’t have YouTube access?

How do you not see this……?

I had to deal with Microsoft in both official and unofficial capacity. You, apparently, have not.

And? The security research organisations are no less hostile to external inputs. Let alone, seclists are the normal way of exposing it.

Yes… He should keep quiet and endure the tedious process that Microsoft has put in place.
After a reasonable period of time it is his moral duty to disclose the issues. Sitting on a vulnerability for months on end, with Microsoft ignoring you, is no answer.

That would be the people behind issue reporting process at Microsoft. Unless you go through the premium MSDN account, you are screeeeeeeweeeed…

I have read from other security researchers that working with Microsoft on such issues is very productive and friendly.

That happen to work for large security houses. They have a wonderful relationship with Microsoft. Anyone else is put though a tedious process that treats a developer like he is an average user. To get through to anyone with more than a monkey brain, you have to spend quite a lot of time proving that you are right. This guy got annoyed…

Google should respect other tech companies’ security issues because they fully understand the gravity of the situation.

And you are implying that they don’t?
Don’t let the facts get in the way of your hate though : “Google engineers found over half the bugs in Microsoft’s latest security update”(Feb 13, 2013)

Closing his mouth would’ve been better, no?

Yes… Oh wait. Microsoft were aware of the issue before disclosure.(At least they did not state to the contrary. Read Microsoft’s response)

Actually, not really. There is yet to be an active exploit.
The only things that is hurt is their reputation – Microsoft and Tavis.

As is your statement. As is this whole thread.

Yes – Microsoft reacts faster when anti-virus and security research companies report issues than anyone else. Microsoft is welcoming of learning, but not necessarily fixing them. Though even the “learning” part is an annoying experience.

And you think that this guy is “representing Google”?

Considering he has been dealing with Microsoft for quite some time, I bet he did inform Microsoft of the issue.

Forcing Microsoft to actually do something about it?
