Okay like seriously.

Does this Mischa Spiegelmock assclown actually work for Six Apart? And did he REALLY fucking think that holding a press conference, pretending to hold 30 vulnerabilities in a major browser - and refusing to disclose them, "to do the internet a greater good by creating a communications network for black hats" at a major security convention - wouldn't maybe have a LITTLE bit of a negative impact on his employer, and thereby, himself?

Were I a highly visible internet company, and were an employee of mine to pull something like this, I'd fire his ass so fast it'd take his ears a week to catch up with it. I'm honestly a little mystified that Six Apart (the folks who run LJ, if you didn't already know that) hasn't already done the same.

Story here.
