After I posted about this on my blog I realized that McAfee "may" have meant to comment on what appears to be a more "collaborative" environment that these malware writers operate in. That may be a more defensible position. I actually have more of an issue with the way McAfee is complaining about Full Disclosure (not the mailing list) methods. This is more than a little ironic considering their recent covert behavior around patching the ePolicy hole. --Chris I agree with Alan on this one as well, if the intent was to actually blame Open Source.
