Vista Hackers Get Busy

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the fresh-meat-for-the-wolves dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft's long-awaited Windows Vista release Thursday for business customers will get more than just the passing attention of network administrators. That's because hackers will be eagerly waiting to do what hackers do best: start some mischief." Some folks on the Black Hat set got a sneak peek at Vista earlier this year, so they've had time to prepare.

    This story is rediculous... Vista has been available to crackers for a very long time.

    "Vista Crackers"

    Earlier this year, a bunch of crackas got a hold of Windows Vista...

    If you are a writer or journalist, don't say or write "Dr.Who" when you mean "Doctor Who". If you work with writers or journalists, educate them on this issue and push them to do the right thing. If you catch a newspaper or magazine abusing the work `Doctor Who', write them and straigten them out (this appendix includes a model letter).
