Microsoft on worm watch

Closed Windows to worms = Opened doors for domestic spying: A day after Microsoft released its fixes, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a rare alert urging Windows users to plug the potential worm hole in the operating system. "Users are encouraged to avoid delay in applying this security patch," the Department of Homeland Security said in the statement.

Now why would the Department of Homeland (In)Security be pushing so hard to get everyone to apply the MS06-040 patch? All it does is plug one hole... and possibly open up others known only to the DH(I)S. Holes big enough to ram a mile-long freight-train worm through to access our systems and steal our personal information to feed Duh'bya's domestic spying monster.; Posted by: Mr. Roboto Posted on: 08/11/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
