worm = a self-replicating computer program. It uses a network to send copies of itself to other systems and it may do so without any user intervention through the network.
virus = a self-replicating computer program written to alter the way a computer operates, without the permission or knowledge of the user.
patch = a small piece of software designed to update or fix problems with a computer program. This includes fixing bugs, replacing graphics and improving the usability or performance.
exploit = a piece of software, a chunk of data, or sequence of commands that take advantage of a bug, glitch or vulnerability in order to gain control of a computer system or allow privilege escalation or a denial of service attack
Computer security = a field of computer science concerned with the control of risks related to computer use.
virus or worm writer = genius.
MS = put people into misery and make profit out of it.
if anyone wonder..here is the definition of OpenSSL.. courtesy of wikipedia.org...
OpenSSL is an open source implementation of the SSL and TLS protocols. The core library (written in the C programming language) implements the basic cryptographic functions and provides various utility functions. Wrappers allowing the use of the OpenSSL library in a variety of computer languages are available.
Versions are available for most Unix-like operating systems (including Solaris, Linux, Mac OS X and the four open source BSD operating systems), and also for Microsoft Windows. OpenSSL is based on SSLeay by Eric Young and Tim Hudson, development of which unofficially ended around December 1998, when Tim and Eric both moved to work for RSA Security.
Banks should be more aware if they want to publish or to give any data to others. This thing might happen unintentionally but it's definitely scared the clients. But, banks are not the only side to blame, because they can't monitor their entire client all the time. Plus, something is more secured if we do it in a traditional way. I'm not sayin that technology is not good enough but the more security we implement, the more people trying to crack them out. Take the online voting as an example. We should not blame google as well. Google is just doing its job by providing the requested information to the users.
Lastly, all I want to say is, long live Google.. Google rocks... Y(*_*)Y
can somebody tell me how to get score more than one?? i aint loosing my money..but i'm gonna loose my mind... thinking about how can i get more score in slashdot..

if openssl also can be attacked by bug, what else should we trust to secure our data?
paid service cant secure our data..and now even the 'secure' open source service cant secure it..so now what we should use? seriously man..what should we use?? any suggestion??
people who are using windows are lazy to migrate to other browser...wait until they realized that they are vulnerable to threat or they've been hacked, just then they will find or using other browser...
but then it will be too late...
i'm wondering...is it possible that the crackers and virus writer is trying to educate internet users about security???
I agree with that. wiki is one stop info center. It is really helpful ( so do Slashdot ). I don't know to others but it is to me. So...if there is more information in there, it would be great.:- webopedia.com also provides good information as well...

good books if we can get our hands on ...books on 'how to cheat my wife' or books on 'how to cheat tax'...

No 1 search engine already proved that they manage to find anything for their user...hehe...like it or not..agree or not...just google it lah..

so do your windows firewall...( i guess )
