Cushman said the presentations have already paid off. One talk, delivered in March by a security expert named Johnny Long, detailed a new way to identify security holes using Google. Shortly after the talk, a Microsoft manager applied the technique and discovered a customer was at risk because it hadn't properly set up a computer that was running SQL, a database program that competes with business programs sold by Oracle Corp.
They needed a presentation to learn about that?

I was just thinking this. Serious hackers would never tip off Microsoft anyway - it sort of sounds like a PR stunt to me.
