A number of popular tech news sources are reporting Trend Micro's CTO,Raimund Genes, publicly claiming that there are "auctions" for zero-dayWindows Vista exploits. Further, he claims these auctions are fetchingapprox $50,000.


Could anyone verify Trend Micro's claim?

It seems dubious, at best, to me and possibly nothing more than pure FUD.

Sorry to get off topic.
