Wednesday September 17, 2003
I feel like I am one of those guys walking down the street with a sandwich-board professing the impending end of the Earth or telling you the sky is falling. The sky is not falling, but Counterpane Internet Security researchers have discovered working code that exploits one of the vulnerabilities from Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-039. It may not take the malicious programmers of the world long to incorporate this code into a worm to spread itself around the Internet. If you haven't done so already, read MS03-039 and apply the patch appropriate for your version of Windows immediately. For more information you can see this article on ComputerWeekly.com: Hackers find way to exploit latest Microsoft hole.
