      So Epic release an installer for Fortnite outside of the play store, @TimSweeneyEpic bitches about the store the whole time, and when Google do Epic's job and find a security issue, wait for the patch to go out and then alert users to the issue, Tim whines even more about Google?

      The 90 days aren't necessary once a patch is out. As a user, I would want to know about the patch as soon as it becomes available for an undisclosed issue. Why would they continue to wait out the 90 days?

      There’s a technical detail here that’s important. The Fortnite installer only updates when you run it or run the game. So if a user only runs it every N days, then the update won’t be installed for N days. We felt N=90 would be much safer than N=7.

      Google is very consistent in their vulnerability policy. See the project zero bug tracker for many examples of the 90 day deadline and T+7 day policies. This isn’t about Epic, they do the same to all vendors.

      Is that practice sound though? With disclosure 7 days after patch issuance, it seems to me that vendors would have to run updates in the background and force-update all users to ensure that nobody is unpatched after 7 days. Maybe this is why Windows 10 updates are so pushy?

      Wouldn’t it be safer to disclose the technical details of vulnerabilities based on adoption rate of updates rather than mere availability? Of course the PR about the existence of a vulnerability and importance of updating could go ahead without disclosing the technical details.

      Case in point: This sort of policy would be disastrous if Google applied it to to security flaws they discovered in their own software, given the Google/IHV/carrier bottlenecks in pushing Android OS updates.

          Can Google even see adoption rates of updates for software outside of the Play Store? If not, then your point may be moot.

          Epic released an app that made its users vulnerable, they get called on it and had 7 days to rectify and Mr Sweeney's response is to change the way in which Google reported the vulnerability because it highlighted the very issue that EVERYONE had about releasing outside Play?

          Uninstalled fortnite and epic software. 90 days response time is unacceptable and massively irresponsible !!! Don't make excuses u have only 1 game to take care of. DO YOUR JOB ! OR STAY HOME. It is 2018, time to rethink quality of technology instead of the next themed skin..kids
