PivX denies Microsoft involved in removal of IE vulnerabilities page

Dec 17, 2003 4:42PM PST

Security solutions provider PivX Solutions has denied that Microsoft in any way influenced a decision to remove from its website a page which listed a fair number of unpatched vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer.

Several posts to the Full-Disclosure vulnerability mailing list have pointed to the fact that a Microsoft logo is now prominently displayed on a page listing some of PivX's clients and speculated that this may be the reason why the IE vulnerabilities page was taken down.

"Our decision to suspend (the vulnerabilities page) was motivated precisely because of the reasons we list. We want to stop focusing on the problems, start addressing the problems and create the solutions - after all, it is part of our name, PivX Solutions.
