Surprise surprise, but a show company is not a software / infosec company.

If only they'd learned early to just make it an open source protocol, many would have helped them with their security issues and bugs, not to mention finding all kinds of new wild and wacky ways to use the shoes that would likely have been free marketing gold for them and encouraged whole new generations of cyberkicks.

What a lost opportunity.

@arstechnica @Viss I wish articles like this would include, up front, the indicators of compromise that I can use to test if the servers I manage are affected. It's the first and most important thing I want to know when learning about a vulnerability.
