8/6/2008 An Information Security Drama Report Exclusive It was BlackHat Vegas 2008 at the Prestigious Pwnie Awards and tensions were running high. The audience had been waiting in anticipation for the announcement of the winner of the "Most Overhyped Bug" category. Nominees included pagvac's "BT Home Hub authentication bypass", Symantec's "Adobe Flash Player non-0day remote code execution", and Dan Kaminsky's "Unspecified DNS cache poisoning vulnerability".
Typical journalists. Don't even know that Kaminsky doesn't have a wife. The New York Times is looking for your talent.
