Vista zero-day exploit for sell
Not surprising, professional hackers are selling Vista exploits already.
Read here.
The vulnerability is being sold for $50,000. That surprised me a bit, because XP Pro SP2 and W2K3 zero days sell for much more. Then I realized that the Vista audience is limiited right now, and Microsoft has plenty of time to patch the hole before the general release of Vista.
