Solve : Massive Internet security flaw uncovered? |
|
Answer» Security researchers on Tuesday said they had discovered an enormous flaw that could let hackers steer most people using corporate computer networks to malicious websites of their own devising. LinkI've been following these reports but I can't get any clear idea as to WHETHER the patch is something I need to apply to my own computer, or is it up to my ISP to apply it to their servers? If I have to apply it to my computer, where can I download it? Is it freeware?Because the flaw hasn't been disclosed full details aren't really fully known. However, the problem appears to be more with the server end and not end-user end. So unless you're running a web server you won't have to WORRY. If you are however running a web server I'm sure in the upcoming days there will be a patch that addresses this issue. Hackers are a skeptical bunch, but that doesn't bother Dan Kaminsky, who GOT a lot of flack from his colleagues in the security research community after claiming to have discovered a CRITICAL bug in the Internet's infrastructure. LinkHoly crap...... Its SCARY what a 40 year old who lives in his moms basement can do with a computer..... I dont see how Hackers get joy out of sending viruses. |
