Mozilla: Hackers Control Bug Disclosure

Mozilla security chief Window Snyder brings up the great point that ultimately the exploit finders are the ones who really control when and how the public finds out about a specific flaw.

"The researcher has all the power," Snyder said. "They control when they disclose it, and they control the idea whether or not the vendor responds in time."
