  1. Re:And I think to myself... on RSA Says SecurID Hack Based On Phishing With Flash 0-Day · · Score: 1

    I noticed a couple of things about windows: users inside the company compulsively send attachments to the point where people open them without thinking. Outlook adds external users to its address book, then hides domain name information when it displays that user. It can be hard to tell what is internal mail and what is not.

    Sad, isnt it?
    I wonder where this fetish for Outlook come from.
    I call it OutOfLuck, because you really are.
    It is one of the things that make stupid users more stupid...

    heh, very likely.

    NT4 is the OS i hate most.
    I started working as a system administrator when it was starting to get a foothold.

    I can still feel the pain, like an old battlescar.

    Why anyone would run critical corporate applications on that shit is still a mystery to me.

    The bloody thing had a tendency suddenly to explode..

  6. Re:Yes... but... on UAC Whitelist Hole In Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    a - The sudo prompt pops up automatically when a program attempts to do certain classes of things for which it does not have privileges.

    No, this opens up for social attacks.
    Please remember that regular computer users will doubleclick on anything (including landmines) and will in general have no clue on what elevated privileges means.

    This differs from Linux, in which a program will simply fail with an "Insufficient permissions" error

    And this IS the correct way to do it.

    Dell have a very good service here. Too bad they dont see their home marked the same way.

    And that is Microsoft, the sickest of them all. They are 80-95% of the whole industry alone, and everything else have to rotate around them.

    As usual this OS is incomplete and a mess:

    ...Ugh! Still not sorted out...

    "Symbolic links can clutter up your machine with lots and lots of links that point nowhere" after the malicious software is removed, Kuo said. Protective tools will probably end up doing the clean-up, he said. It's a sign that on Vista systems, security software has more work to do than on earlier versions of the operating system.

    Its a good thing the Server version still is some years ahead!
