vinhboy on July 10, 2013 | parent | context | favorite | on: VLC threatens to sue Secunia over full disclosure

Thank you for working on VLC. It's a great software.

But I have to ask, why it is so important to VLC, or you, that secunia take down their advisory? Does it really affect VLC negatively?

That is a great question.

Because we receive a LOT of emails, from PSI users and from clueless users telling us that our software is insecure. This is a lot of support load and takes quite a bit of time.
