Hey boffin, take a walk on the wild side: Stuffy academics need to let out their inner black hat

Is this a new thing?

I've been a "hacker" for decades, and in the past have never noticed a serious gulf between academic security researchers and non-academic security researchers. Yes, they each have their own different playgrounds, but I've not noticed cases where either side simply discounts the other's efforts. More typically, they have each informed the other.

Has this changed and I didn't notice?
