Love the use of the phrase “Volkwagen moment”. A researcher investigating Trend Micro’s antimalware software <https://www.theregister.co.uk/2020/05/20/trend_accused_microsoft_cheating/> has discovered a routine in it which appears to be able to tell when the software is running within Microsoft’s WHQL test suite, so the code can behave one way during testing and certification, and a different way while running on ordinary punters’ PCs. Trend Micro’s response seems to be trying to have it both ways, on the one hand denying it is doing such a thing, on the other trying to cast aspersions on the researcher for going public without contacting them first. But as a reader comment <https://forums.theregister.co.uk/forum/all/2020/05/20/trend_accused_microsoft_cheating/#c_4036031> points out, such a “responsible-disclosure” process is supposed to apply to security bugs. However, this appears to be a deliberate feature.
