To all the comments doubting the legitimacy:

Here is a LinkedIn post by one of the CVE board members (literally the first one on the list here[0]): https://www.linkedin.com/posts/peterallor_cve-foundation-act...

I'm sure if you look at some of the contact information of other CVE board members and their broadcasting platforms you will also find something.

Ngl, I would love a more “clear confirmation” he just boosted and posted a meme.

He boosted a post that is 1:1 an announcement of the project.

How much more of a "clear confirmation" do you want? An announcement from their non-existent personal press secretaries that just says the exact same text as that post he boosted?

I think people here need to take a step back and realize that the people and board involved here are more like linux kernel maintainers that are not generally public figures and not C-level executives of a Fortune 500 company.

Yes, since it's cybersecurity a bit more caution than usual is probably warranted, but it's not like the CVE DB has gone offline and everyone is currently scrambling to find the new legitimate replacement. Let's let this situation breathe for a few hours/days instead of being overly cautious and spending all energy on skepticism.

		> instead of being overly cautious and spending all energy on skepticism. Given the state of trustworthy information in news and public discourse, it's understandable that people request a credible source. The thing called "social media" ain't it.

		I've pointed out that I think a more clear (in this case an explicit message) would be better. You extrapolated to the other end, assuming that I wanted a press release, which I do feel is a false dichotomy. There are more than one existing option here, and a middle ground would certainly be perfect in this context.
