So everyone freaked when one of the PWN 2 OWN contest winners decided to auction off a laptop that contained the unpatched zero-day exploit code he had used to compromise the computer in the contest. The guy told InfoWorld his side of the story.
The company said it had to go because it could have harmed users. But Macaulay says that was never his intent. In a Tuesday interview with IDG News he explained that Adobe Systems plans to patch his Flash bug on April 8, the day his auction was set to end, and so he would have been practicing responsible disclosure, releasing details of a flaw that had already been patched.
