Vupen has been hacked – possibly hit by the unknown unknown
There are reports a French group called Vupen, who are famous as resellers for zero-day vulnerabilities, has been hacked – and 130 zero-days have been leaked. If you look at their target client description you’ll see why this is important (http://www.vupen.com/english/services/lea-index.php). A really basic zero-day can sell for £1000; a decent one – like they sell – can go for £100,000+. If these guys can’t protect themselves then there is little hope for anyone else if someone decides they really want to get in.

Think about that – 130 0-days possibly in the hands of who knows whom… I can feel a rash of Flames coming on.

They had their chance to respond to Attrition.org’s email before they went public, they chose to ignore it. Sure, thats not evidence but speaks to a cover up in my mind.

yeah, because VUPEN’s CEO is going to tweet “0day can happen to anyone, lol, internet over.”
lol.

I think your headline is misleading.
There’s not been any evidence that I’ve seen that Vupen has been hacked. In fact Vupen’s CEO says it’s nonsense. See https://twitter.com/cBekrar/status/210616913729036288
Maybe we need to take the claims with a pinch of salt unless something shows up which suggests it might be true.
Of course, if it *was* true it would be big news. But at the moment everyone is just retweeting a rumour.

The headline is misleading and defamatory, you should change your title to “Was Vupen hacked?” as they now confirmed it’s a false information http://twitter.com/cBekrar/status/210736385685069825
