Re: [Full-disclosure] Apple IOS security issue pre-advisory record

["Thor (Hammer of God)" <thor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Making a conclusion of community behavior, good or bad, based on some 
indication of a number of clicks on some link is non sequitur.   I actually 
don't see any reason why one would be surprised by a "security community" 
following links anyway.  I've got a VM specifically used for this type of 
thing, and I know many others do as well.  Many probably *want* the link to be 
malicious so they can analyze and harvest any potential attack and see if it is 
new or interesting.   There is no corollary to qualified behavior from some 
ambiguous report that "300 security researchers who should have known better."
