Bugtraq Is Back
5 hours ago
- Bugtraq was created in 1993 by Scott Chasin to enable full disclosure of vulnerabilities without gatekeepers.
- It became the central hub for vulnerability research for over a decade before falling silent through corporate acquisitions.
- The domain and Bugtraq name have been reacquired to restart the mailing list with the same mission of researcher-first disclosure.
- Old archives from community copies will be preserved separately, and the list is now active at bugtraq@securityfocus.com.
- The initiative emphasizes preserving hacker history and authentic knowledge against AI-generated disinformation.
