Microsoft releases statement on KRACK Wi-Fi vulnerability
https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-releases-statement-krack-wi-fi-vulnerability

What's interesting is that the open-source community has a problem with
diffs letting the cat out of the bag too soon (witness openbsd).

And the closed source community has a problem with never actually fixing
the problems (see most of the wireless router manufacturers).

As can be seen from the debate that occured re Krack and OpenBSD.
Theodore felt that leaving his users hanging completely exposed was not
a good idea, and eventually the Krack finder agreed (only to regret it
later). It is a real moral connundrum. Did anyone actually notice that
OpenBSD could be used to reveal the bug? Ofttimes fear makes one think
that everyone in the world can see right through you and see what you
are trying to hide, while actually noone does.
So it was not a problem, but a true moral connundrum where no answer is
right.
