Microsoft banned from Bugtraq

The administrator of the computer security mailing list Bugtraq banned postings from Microsoft on Thursday after the company stripped detailed information out of its e-mail advisories. Microsoft (msft) last week pared down the security warnings it sends to the Bugtraq and NT-Bugtraq lists as well as to 130,000 other subscribers. Instead, the e-mails include a link to a Web page with additional details. Microsoft said the changes were made so customers get the most up-to-date information, rather than potentially out-of-date news from archived e-mails.
