The Mt. Rushmore of Branded Bugs

In the aftermath of the Copy Fail bug being (very unceremoniously) disclosed, the security news organization Decipher published a (maybe not serious?) “Mt. Rushmore of branded bugs”. The list is as follows… BEAST Heartbleed Rowhammer Meltdown And then for fun they mention Stuxnet (which is more of a worm than it is a vuln/exploit). My Mt. Rushmore of Branded Bugs I consider myself a bit of a purveyor of branded bugs, and have worked for years (since 2012) in the world of Vulnerability Management—I’ve seen them all come and go. These four are certainly well-known named vulns, but I wouldn’t consider that list exactly, to be the Mt. Rushmore. If I were to make my own top 4 / “Mt. Rushmore” of named vulnerabilities, based on severity, notoriety, flare and my own personal experiences with them, then these are the 4 I’m picking (in chronological order)… (Note that I’m only choosing named vulns that have a logo, because otherwise how would we chisel their likeness into a cliffside?!)…
