Summary
Microsoft is facing criticism for its handling of zero-day exploits. Microsoft suggests it plans to bring a criminal case against Nightmare Eclipse for failing to follow “proper coordination” in disclosing vulnerabilities. What troubles Beaumont is that Microsoft has hired people who have done many of the exact same things. If Microsoft’s tactic is to try to criminalise not following often arbitrary “responsible disclosure” frameworks, good luck defending that in court, because there’s a whole clown car of prior decision making within Microsoft and facts which would emerge in that process. Nvidia, Microsoft, and Arm are all teasing Nvidia’s new N1X laptop processors.
