I stopped caring about 'branded bugs' a while ago... *especially* if
they have a logo

While I don't agree with everything in the following article, the author
does make a couple of good points:
http://techrights.org/2015/05/14/venom-is-not-a-serious-bug-its-just-a-marketing-campaign-from-crowdstrike/
And I do agree with the conclusion: "How much more of this FUD is going
to circulate before journalists realise (sic) that they make a mountain
out of a molehill?"

If you really want to know which bugs to keep an eye on, I recommend
http://www.cvedetails.com/ and other sites like it instead of 'journalists'.
