Denver | Sad I am not sure how valid the "National Security Threat" is but I can see this being used by many AV companies now that the precedent has been established.
The way I look at it the software manufacturer, by the use of a telephone no less, managed to keep their stock at the current price, not have negative publicity running in newspapers or on television across the world (causing a decline in sales) or have a bug exploited costing their customers up to billions of dollars. It did not cost them any money, not even a quarter for the call.
I say well done to them. They again proved it is possible to get out of any situation as long as you are a quick thinker. If only Clinton could of said Monica was just hungry or Nixon could have said I thought I was taping over a Beatles tape.
I guess it is easier not taking responsibility for your companies actions. Your First Amendment Rights were trampled on. It amazes me how we redefine our Constitution to meet the needs of certain people/organizations. In my next life I want to be famous and wealthy so I can enjoy the benefits of not abiding by the laws set for the rest of us.
