[b]New Windows Vista hacked
already
The marketing propaganda touting Microsofts new Vista operating
system as the most secure version of Windows yet has done nothing
to stop both white and black hat hackers from discovering Vista
vulnerabilities. Unless you simply enjoy acting as an experimental
Microsoft guinea pig, its best to wait before trying to run
Windows Vista.
Quite disturbing were recent revelations that Microsofts own Live
OneCare antivirus program, tailored specifically for Vista, is
unable to block many well-known computer viruses. Another antivirus
package from McAfee also fails to do the job. This fulfills
predictions made in early 2006 by antivirus firm Symantec (maker of
Norton AntiVirus) that, because of Microsofts failure to provide
ways for antivirus programmers to fully integrate their products
with Vista, many antivirus programs would have a hard time
protecting Vista users. I guess that includes Microsoft, as
well.
Russian hackers posted instructions to an underground forum
describing how to implement privilege escalation, which could
bypass some Vista security measures. This hack could
escalate the privileges of a normal Vista user into that of a
superuser, allowing him to change anything he desired on the
system. This would be particularly dangerous in a corporate
environment where normal computer users have limited privileges, in
that they cannot install programs, visit certain Web sites, etc.
This threat is considered so serious that Microsoft has scrambled
its Security Response Center, which is ostensibly still trying to
figure out what to do.
