Microsoft: Third party apps killing our security | |
|
||
| Time: 23:40 EST/04:40 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

Why would hackers target Microsoft directly when there is so much low hanging fruit hanging from the Windows operating system? The short answer is that hackers won’t attack Microsoft directly because they have plenty of alternatives via third party applications such as QuickTime, RealPlayer and WinZip. That’s the big takeaway from Microsoft’s Security Intelligence Report (January to June 2008), which will be unveiled Monday. Microsoft prebriefed a few folks including me and The New York Times on the key findings of the report, but the real interesting data will appear in the full blown document, which will be dissected by Ryan Naraine at Zero Day later. | ||
