Microsoft patch batch pre-alerts now for paying customers ONLY
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/01/09/ms_restricts_security_pre_alerts/ Microsoft is facing fierce criticism over its decision to make pre-notification of upcoming patches available only to paid subscribers. The Advance Notification Service (ANS) formerly made information on upcoming software patches available to the public but from now on the information will be restricted to “premier” customers and some other select partners.

i am only half joking; since as attacker, heads-up 0day gonna burn lets you make the most of it, if quick. you are sitting on pre-auth remote SYSTEM like a ms14-066 SChannel sploit, what is value of even an hour letting it loose? perhaps start of a glorious trend. *grin* [ this is all "Threat Intelligence", now, right? ]

Won't be surprised if at least part of this leaks on torrents and the like. Though not sure about leaking SYSTEM preauth.
