It seems like every week there’s a new IT security blog. We at SC Magazine know all about this, since last week it was us.

But Microsoft’s new Security Development Lifecycle team blog is especially noteworthy. Michael Howard, senior security program manager in the Security Engineering Group, kicked off this week by explaining what the company has learned from the ANI cursor vulnerability.

Howard, who’s been penning his own blog for a few years now, gives a better explanation of the situation in Redmond than I can, so please check it out for yourself.

It’s no secret that Microsoft is everyone’s favorite punching bag, whether the software empire deserves it or not. But give them credit for adding another layer of disclosure with this blog.
