Of course our statistics are based off of the content in OSVDB and we 
need your help to provide better statistics. If you are a researcher, it 
would help if you could take the time to create an OSVDB account and 
update the vulnerabilities that you have discovered!

You can signup for an OSVDB account here:

Here is a quick overview:

-Search for your vulnerabilities at http://osvdb.org/search/advsearch
-Click on your vuln, then click “Edit Vulnerability”
-Click the Credits menu item, if credit is missing click “Toggle Add 
Author…”
-You name may already be in the database, as you type it will search 
OSVDB to see if your information is there. If so, select and click “Add

-Once you add the creditee information you can update your information 
or if your name is not there you can add it as a new creditee.

Rinse and repeat!
