On Six Apart and the dropping of the 0day
Topic: Technology 2:34 pm EDT, Oct  2, 2006

So to settle all this craziness about disclosing Firefox 0day, I decided to call Six Apart's press office, as Mischa Spiegelmock claimed he works there.

A gal named Jane Anderson, who has a killer accent BTW, talked with me and here what I found out.

-Mischa does work for Six Apart
-Mischa didn't tell them he was doing this
-The company has contacted Mozilla, but Six apart has nothing to do with getting the issue (issues?) resolved
-Any future information regarding this flaw (flaws?) will not be released/discussed by Six Apart
-Six Apart believes in responsible disclosure
-It is the understanding of Six Apart that the presentation was supposed to be funny, but people didn't seem to take it that way. How exact stack overflows in FF's JavaScript interpreter are funny was never really explained to me
-Jane has be *very* busy for the last day or so and this is causing them some major issues

I thanked Jane for talking so frankly with me but truth be told, they need to fire this guy. Immediately.
