George Ou! This demonstrates what I was saying in ...
... the other thread about the silliness of having a patch release schedule that you make public.

"The flaw is the third to hit Microsoft this week." Uh huh, and the black hat probably has a couple more. But Microsoft just talked about the other two, so the cracker was money ahead: he could concentrate on refining his exploits for this one.

Now that THIS one has been made public, and the dirt bag knows that MS is working on a patch for it, he can save time and energy and move on to work on the others.

Having a public schedule for patch releases helps the black hat in his work.
