Security company launches eBay for bugs
WabiSabiLabi argues that the computer industry's ethical disclosure policies have led to a raw deal for security researchers, who typically are not paid for disclosing vulnerabilities. "Nobody in the pharmaceutical industry is blackmailing researchers (or the companies that are financing the research), to force them to release the results for free under an ethical disclosure policy," the WabiSabiLabi Web site states. Representatives from WabiSabiLabi could not immediately be reached for comment.
The company bills its marketplace as a way for "security researchers to get a fair price for their findings and ensure that they will no longer be forced to give them away for free or sell them to cybercriminals."
But to David Perry at Trend Micro, it looks like something else. "It's going to be eBay for vulnerabilities," he said.
