Google turns up a CNET article from 2007 (probably because eEye was "pumping press releases left and right"):[1]

> Researchers at eEye used a standard process of code auditing in discovering the vulnerabilities, [eEye CEO Ross] Brown added. He noted that Microsoft either did not do a 'good job' with its code auditing, or it may not have had enough people working on such a task.

I don't really get this culture of racing to find a bug in another company's product, then strutting about finding one (in Microsoft Publisher of all things) and throwing shade. I guess we should all be so lucky to have a company whose "standard process" is to pull a week of all nighters testing our product.
