Code Failure, Again →

Meanwhile, in incompetent application security testing news, comes this astonishing example of blatant coding stupidity - Microsoft Corporation's (NasdaqGS: MSFT) crack team of questionable-capability-developers (have these people heard of fuzzers?) unleashed a deeply flawed Windows Defender product on millions of customers.

As luck would have it (if you believe in that sort of thing), the product was just patched months after the faulty codebase was wrapped-up-all-pretty-like. The flaw was discovered by security researcher Tavis Ormandy of Google Project Zero fame; his report (and closure of same) on 2017/06/23 is today's proof - at the very least - there are Security Researchers Doing The Right Thing.
