Proof of concept code available for critical Microsoft vulnerability
Makes you wonder sometime if the crackers are working on the exploits even while Microsoft is working on the patch. The mailslot vulnerability was only announced last Tuesday with a patch. Proof of concept code usually portends a new worm. This one will be a good indicator of just how fast a majority of Windows machines are actually updated.
Note: If you are traveling in Southern Ontario, and looking for Internet access, the Chatham-Kent public libraries are closed on Wednesdays. Try the SouthKent ISP in Blenheim. They have two workstations available. Wifi? Forget about it.
