Mozilla Taps Former Microsoft Executive For Security
Mozilla has hired a former Microsoft security strategist to help lock down its open-source products against online attacks.
Window Snyder, whose hiring was announced Wednesday, worked on Microsoft's security driven Windows XP Service Pack 2 update. She also had a role in the development of Windows Server 2003.
Snyder will take charge of Mozilla's security strategy, a role previously handled by Mozilla's vice president of engineering, Mike Schroepfer.
"Window has joined MozCorp recently as our new 'Chief Security Something' (that's a working title)," said Schroepfer in a blog posting. "She'll be the public voice of Mozilla Corporation on security issues and helping to drive our long-term security strategy."

No kidding!
My first reaction was: WTF?
