lt on Feb 8, 2012 | parent | context | favorite | on: Anonymous releases stolen Symantec source code

I think there's a good chance that these patches are for backdoors that would be discovered looking at the source.

I await for someone brave enough to get the source and publish a security analysis.

If there are backdoors which would be exposed by viewing the source, then Symantec is using security through obscurity.

No reason the security analysis cann't be published anonymously as well.
