Microsoft needs the hackers to tell Microsoft about security flaws first instead of them open-sourcing exploit code directly to the internet. This is their attempt to build relationships, and co-opt or undermine the black hat conference if nothing else.

I like this move by Microsoft and, despite all the smack that gets talked about hackers here, I think the hacker community will really help them tighten down IE..

...I think the hacker community will really help them tighten down IE..

That was really my point about posting this article. I'm hoping that MS will now start to take security (and the methods for finding leaks) seriously. THis move indicates they are finally starting to learn from the people who can do this better than they can in-house.
