Very strange that ngSec (from Spain) stopped releasing "security
advisories" at http://www.ngsec.com/ngresearch/ngadvisories/ while
NGSS
(Next Generation Security Software, from England) is still active in that
field. To prevent any confusion, ngSec and NGS are two completely
different companies not related to each other.
