PontifexPrimus writes "The MPAA's new advertising campaign against movie piracy has a home on the internet. Did you know that 'Network users have a back door to your hard drive while you're online, thereby seeing your personal, private information, such as bank records, social security number, etc.'? Learn about the dangers of filesharing!"

    how many of those linux holes are still around. The linux folks all hunt for them and PATCH them asap. The M$ folks? Should I even bother to ask how many holes we DONT know about?!

    how many of the microsoft ones? File Sharing has NOTHING to do with the holes present in OS's. And btw... since WHEN do they have access to my banking info? I do any important accounting offline on a machine meant to print checks not watch movies on. If I were to run any of the file sharing services I'd say they'd be the least of my risks in the case of my W2000 rig/SMB fileserver.

    They still have network holes from the RC1 of Windows 2000.

    Difference is the Linux holes are released to be patched. The MS holes are covered up in attempts to hide them and make users feel secure until Windows 2004 can patch the Windows 2000 holes.
