Microsoft Bracing for Worm Attack

10010010 writes "A network worm attack targeting a critical Microsoft Windows vulnerability appears inevitable. The flaw is easy to exploit, as evidenced by the quick release of an exploit module for HD Moore's Metasploit Framework. Within hours of the Patch Day release Tuesday, two pen testing companies (Immunity and Core) created and released 'reliable exploits' for the flaw, which was deemed wormable on all Windows versions, including Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003 SP1."

    I'm under 30 and not living with my parents. Myspace sucks ass. It's like all the least interesting people in the world got together and decided to design the ugliest web pages in the world, and then they all list each other as friends and leave comments with the word "dawg" and anything that endz in "Z" where there should be an "S".

    But stop wasting time reading my reply, you're probably missing out on a whole new set of recently released butt-ass ugly animated graphics that you can use while posting to hot girls myspace accounts who are actually 30+ males living in their parents basements with dreams of luring you into their wrangler jeans...
