In the world of computer security research, it really doesn't get any more dramatic than this. This weekend, a security researcher hiding behind the pseudonym "Infosec Sellout" posted to the BugTraq mailing list that he had discovered a vulnerability in a component of Apple's Bonjour automatic network service, and that he had developed a proof-of-concept worm that exploits the hole. However he says he won't release it. The response? Death threats. However, that's only the beginning of a what is turning out to be a story that belongs more on a mid-day Soap Opera than on the front page of a tech news site. It quickly devolves into identity hijacking, site defacement, and speculation on other anonymous posters disclosing vulnerabilities in the past. Again, CNet has the dirty details.
