A group of security researchers have released full details and
exploitation code for an unpatched Windows local privilege escalation
vulnerability. The researchers openly stated that they will continue
to do so in response to how Microsoft treated Tavis Ormandy, the
Google engineer blamed for disclosing a critical Windows bug publicly
last month.

Due to hostility toward security researchers, the most recent
example being of Tavis Ormandy, a number of us from the industry
(and some not from the industry) have come together to form MSRC:
the Microsoft-Spurned Researcher Collective. MSRC will fully
disclose vulnerability information discovered in our free time,
free from retaliation against us or any inferred employer.

What Tavis Ormandy did was cyber terrorism and what these people are
doing in support of him is cyber terrorism.

The government has to take a stand and arrest Ormandy and the people
supporting him before this gets out of control.
