Just wanted to say THANKS to everyone at CTH. A Presbyterian pastor taught me that one can never say thank you enough and that everyone needs to pass it on when you hear it. Over the past two weeks I have read so much great information (so many posts...so little time) and picked up considerable knowledge. THANK YOU ALL! - uncleable

MICROSOFT engineers worked frantically over the US Thanksgiving holiday to fix a design flaw in Windows that has exposed millions of computers to hijacking by computer criminals.
By exploiting the design flaw a lone miscreant could take control of vast numbers of home or office PCs around the world in a single attack. They could read data, steal passwords and monitor internet use or use them to distribute spam or viruses.
The bug was demonstrated at the Kiwicon hacker conference in New Zealand last week by an ethical hacker, Beau Butler.
