Security Hole in Morpheus

Apparently a bug allows for a great deal more file-sharing for some users of the software than intended ..." Man this thing got submitted a lot. I've never actually seen Morpheus, but apparently a lot of readers have! There really isn't a lot of information except that if you're running Morpheus, you might as well consider your hard drive world readable ;)

    Is it just me or have the quality of slashdot stories lately been pretty crappy? From fakes like this one, to double-posts, to the typical "Look at this new program that's been around for 5 years". Slashdot needs a system to administer the admins before they go too far.
