A security researcher known as Nightmare Eclipse is locked in a volatile conflict with Microsoft after claiming to have been mistreated during the vulnerability disclosure process. Having already revealed several zero-day exploits currently being targeted by attackers, the researcher has pledged a significant new release of critical bugs scheduled for July 14.
