About this tag
The top 100 tag on WindowsForum.com covers Microsoft's annual Top 100 Security Researcher list, unveiled at the Black Hat Security Conference. This list recognizes the top security researchers who have contributed research to Microsoft products and services, as compiled by the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC). The ranking is based on the quantity and quality of vulnerability reports for which Microsoft has issued fixes, with higher-impact issues carrying more weight. Discussions include how the list is built, the criteria for ranking, and the importance of community-based defense. The tag reflects Microsoft's appreciation for security researchers and their role in improving product security.
