SEATTLE - A group in China released a program Friday that lets hackers exploit a flaw in Microsoft software and take over a victim's computer over the Internet. The program, released nine days after Microsoft Corp. announced the flaw, has turned an embarrassment for the company and inconvenience for customers into a near-emergency. The program, posted on the group's Web site, takes advantage of a vulnerability in nearly all versions of Microsoft's Windows operating system, including Windows Server 2003, touted as Microsoft's safest ever. | ||

Example of media bias #12918209:
They are quick to point out the flaw in Windows 2003 and make sure that you know that MS has claimed it's their safest ever (which, in fact, it is). However, when reporting the Oracle story, they make no mention of Oracle's "Unbreakable" fiasco. They're perfectly happy to let that one slip under the rug. |
