Windows XP Security "Flaw"

Friday November 21, 2003
This was originally posted in February of 2003. From Microsoft's official standpoint at the time this wasn't considered a "flaw" per se. Essentially, to exploit this issue a user would have to be physically sitting at the computer. If that is the case- almost no amount of security can keep out someone with enough time and dedication and unrestricted physical access to the computer system. While this information isn't new, it hasn't changed so this is still good information for users of Windows XP to keep in mind. Article: Windows XP Security "Flaw".
