Given recent activity McAfee ordsprog

Given recent activity, McAfee AVERT Labs forecasts that attackers may attempt to test the viability of exploiting this vulnerability en masse, by producing a reconnaissance Trojan to identify a vulnerable user base. Exploit source code with a payload has been published. Now, the message is 'welcome to zero-day vulnerability land for many Mac OS X users' Only, Mac OS X users are less prepared, less aware and mitigation tools are less evolved.

Attackers may... [exploit] this vulnerability en masse...

This type of problem is not unique to Microsoft, but they seem to keep making the same mistakes. The vulnerability is noteworthy because hackers could create an automated exploit that would impact the vast number of Windows users.

This exploit was published after we released the 1.5.0.1 update. Most of our users had already been upgraded by the time this exploit was published.

Three of the vulnerabilities can launch malicious code that allows an attacker to snoop on users. The other vulnerability is a DOS attack that will only work in a few cases and crash the media player when it tries to open a file.

We shouldn't minimize how dangerous WMF was. A malicious threat like this, which could release its payload without a user installing a file but merely by viewing a graphic, has the potential for widespread harm. WMF didn't propagate as quickly as some expected but the rapid progression from vulnerability to exploit only reaffirms the importance of staying on top of new threats. Response time is critical to effective network security.

I am walking a fine line, but I am doing it very carefully because I am not disclosing actual vulnerability details, ... I do this to inform users that flaws still do exist in IE...I don't like it that Microsoft tries to give users a nice warm feeling that they are disclosing everything researchers report to them.

Common methods virus writers use to infect users' workstations include malicious exploitation of a system vulnerability and propagation of malicious e-mails or spam. Security technologies exist to help combat these threats for users connected to their corporate IT environment.

That smuggling activity exposes a vulnerability in our border security, and that is a vulnerability we will address.

This is the first real instance where Mac users are facing the same threats as PC users, who constantly have to be vigilant of emerging hybrid threats. Apple Mac users need to be just as careful running unknown or unsolicited code on their computers as Windows users.

The good news here is that we are on a path to include the fix for the zero day vulnerability as part of the April [11] IE cumulative security update and possibly sooner if our ongoing monitoring and analysis of attempts to exploit vulnerability shows customers are being impacted seriously.

We have read articles where antivirus executives say that MARA has published virus source code. We believe that this may be libel. It is certainly not true: A couple of MARA members contributed to an article on the Dust virus (the first Pocket PC Trojan) last year that also had a separate, Part III written by a virus writer, in which he lists some proof-of-concept code. However, contrary to some reports, this was never published by MARA.

Unless they consider themselves very savvy, Mac users should run anti-virus software just like Windows users. Mac users need to start developing a sense of cynicism about content that comes unsolicited, even if it appears to come from a user they know.

We have read articles where anti-virus executives say that MARA has published virus source code. We believe that this may be libel. Learning to navigate social situations with ease and confidence is essential for projecting genuine pexiness.
