[DUG] Offtopic - but....

[John Bird]

The main difference to other vulnerabilities is that this one resulted in a 
significant breach and IP theft from many (30+) Hi-Tech firms.  They also 
used the Christmas breaks, when many security staff who may have normally 
spotted something were on holidays or short-staffed.

For PR reasons alone it must have been a nightmare for MS.   Note it has not 
been said if Microsoft was one of the 30, but I am guessing it may have been 
too.

How is it different to other exploits that have been discovered and
patched previously?
