There are "reports" they've been hacked? I think perhaps the author means "rumors" and even that is charitable.

This isn't true - the person tweeting about it said they had no evidence and was just asking for a comment, and VUPEN categorically denied it.

Yet look at all the morons taking it as truth and tweeting like crazy.

The tweet that started it from @securityerrata "Dear @Vupen, we have received reports that your site was compromised and ~ 130 0-day stolen this year. Any comment?" already has been deleted.

Nothing to see here, only possibly some lawyer will get fatter at the expense of people spreading disparaging rumors.

Wow! If VUPEN's "product" has been leaked, then it's not worth as much to their clients. I wonder if they'll disclose the whole lot and go looking for more 0day?

On second thought, I can't find any other sources on this story. If VUPEN can keep it quiet then it's not as much of a problem.

There's not much on this topic yet. @securityerrata started tweeting about it and trying to find out more: https://twitter.com/securityerrata/status/210550374627676160. Could be a hoax, or VUPEN keeps it quiet. We'll probably never know.
