Obviously, Mr. Sam Wheat doesnot know the difference between a publicly released vulnerability information in a public forum like xfocus (do you even know how popular xfocus is in china and other places?) and paying for zero days and sponsoring zero days.
I believe that this blog is for technical discussions and keeping track of interesting trends and threats. So, if you have a personal dig at the author (Rahul) please contact him in person. Saves your time and others as well. (Why do i have a feeling that you are a representative of ZDI???)

Chill mate! You are missing the point completely here.

As regards the blog, Wei Wang good information for us. I shall keep track of this and please do inform the community in case you see any active exploitation on this issue. And yes i agree with the comments to people that we should never accept webcam invites….EVER!

Mr. Abrams,

Where I agree with you in practice, it is simply a fact that not everyone on yahoo or anywhere else is a technilogical expert. Although many on Yahoo! seem to think they are. Most users of chat are the every day “Joe.” They don’t know the difference between malicious code and a pornographic link sent to their Instant Message box. Most people will click on anything that pops up on their screen. Of course the proper advice would be for no one to accept ANYTHING even from so called “trusted” sources, because after all who can one trust on the Internet? But one has to be realistic in realising that there are going to be many out there who will accept even if they don’t know the person sending. The PROPER advice is to NOT accept ANY webcam invites. Period.
