"-After Symantec bought Securityfocus Bugtraq there are several questions regarding what values is left in this service. because of that, we now bring you an alternative where the users gets *sumtin *sumtin for free."

I personally haven't noticed a decline in service or quality per se since Symantec bought Security Focus, but it does seem to represent a conflict of interest.

I have bookmarked this new source and I will keep an eye on them.


Thanks for the heads up!
