New Windows Rootkit... in porn!

[strredwolf]

Well, as you know, Microsoft's kinda in a panic mode over a Windows library that handles JPG (Jpeg format) files.  Turns out the code can be exploited to run code that can make it a zombie.

Oh, you didn't know?  Bone up here.  The porn you D/L may no longer be safe.

What's worse, the virus is now in the wild.

I'm so glad I'm running Linux.

Makes me glad I'm on a Mac. ^^
Even moreso to be running a variant of Unix.

I would hate to see what would happen if you combined that with metasploit. VNC server though boobies.

Oh what a dark day when you even have to get protection for a jerk off.

Radu Radus revenge

I think Radu Radu is behind this.
Trying to get at you.

If she were to get at me she'd have to create an HTML text backdoor in Netscape for Linux.
(And being closed source it CAN be done.. wouldn't be a true virus but it would be bad enough)

Leave it to Microsoft to change a Hoax that ran around ages ago into a real virus.

What's next? "Microsoft Exploit in Video Driver Software enables Government to Spy on you through your Monitor"..

I'm glad I run Firefox.
"Oh noes! viral Jpeg! *clicky* Patch!"

That and I refuse to install SP2 until I can not work with my current setup, perhaps they fixed all their major problems by then.

Not first time

Remember the "Good Times" virus hoax?
You can't get a virus in e-mail unless the client is sereously screwed up...
Well... Outlook Express is sereously screwed up.

Oh yeah Microsoft has a media center that plugs into your TV.
With companys like Gateway making wide screen TVs it won't be long untill the MS Media center is intigrated into the TV set.
With a CDC for teleconfrencing.

You know a while back there was a preposal to permit the FBI to hack into peoples PCs and then don't forget Carnivar.
