Why are they reporting vulnerabilities, most of which were disclosed and patched from 2006 to 2009? Yet, they published the article on July 14, 2010, which implies that these are recent - LET's say ones that would have occurred in 2010 - vulnerabilities. I don't get it. Is the author just searching for some topic to sensationalize? It seems like it.
