Hacker code could unleash Windows worm | |
|
||
| Time: 15:17 EST/20:17 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Alex Harris | ||

A hacker group released code designed to exploit a widespread Windows flaw, paving the way for a major worm attack as soon as this weekend, security researchers warned. The warning came Friday, after hackers from the Chinese X Focus security group forwarded source code to several public security lists. The code is for a program designed to allow an intruder to enter Windows computers. The X Focus program takes advantage of a hole in the Microsoft operating system that lets attackers break in remotely. The flaw has been characterized by some security experts as the most widespread ever found in Windows. "An exploit (program) like this is very easy to turn into a worm," said Marc Maiffret, chief hacking officer for network protection firm eEye Digital Security. "I wouldn't be surprised if we see a worm sooner rather than later." | ||

You got me. I guess I was thinking about all those little kids who had their lunch money stolen because they were overcharged for Barney CD's. And the poor little old ladies deprived of a bowl of soup. The RIAA were thieves. They should go to jail.
Little old ladies were off buying CDs instead of soup? Sounds like misplaced priorities! (That was a sarcastic statement, right???) |

If they had to choose between a bowl of chicken noodle and the new Tom Jones album, something's wrong if they're not picking the soup!!
As for the RIAA vs. artists... the record companies deserve to earn money as well. The artists can't produce their own supply chain, and those aren't free. |
