Short Take: ICSA.net acquires Windows bug-tracking list

Computing security company ICSA.net has acquired the NT-Bugtraq mailing list for discussing Windows NT and Windows 2000 security issues. ICSA.net has also hired NT-Bugtraq's moderator, Russ Cooper. In a note posted to the list, Cooper said he plans to add a new mailing list to cover the security of Windows 95, 98 and Me and another list for browser and email security. Cooper also said he hopes access to ICSA.net's labs will improve his bug-testing abilities.
