Virus Writers Set to Wreck Havoc on Xbox? | |

Xbox and other game consoles could become virus writers' next targets, according to a story on silicon.com from top anti-virus experts. Security specialists have warned that viruses could spread easily to other consoles if they are linked with one another via the internet and built with very little security in mind. Xbox in particular could be a hit as Microsoft is a favourite target of many virus writers, according to Jack Clarke, product manager at McAfee anti-virus software. He said: "There are millions of Xboxes connected together via the internet. It's almost too easy to spread viruses via these consoles. We don't know how it will spread yet, but we are fully aware that any Microsoft product makes a tempting target." | ||
