From: borg at hush.com (borg@...h.com) Subject: Re: Microsoft Coding / National Security Risk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Microsoft has already created a national security risk by giving the source code to foreign governments who are without a doubt already combing the source code for vulnerabilities. Employing a bunch of coders at MS to find bad code wont do any good. The problem is users never patch. Most worms / exploits are created by crackers who reverse engineer the patches to find out the vulnerabilities. The way people run their windows installs is also the problem. There mostly run as administrator with high privelages. This is Microsofts fault for creating such a weak setup and then for allowing a user to run as administrator 24/7 without ever warning them. I don't want to get started on an anti ms debate. But if our government (USA) was smart (and I know they are) they wouldnt rely on Microsoft products to protect their data. borg (ChrisR-) www.cr-secure.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify Version: Hush 2.3 wkYEARECAAYFAkBhvkcACgkQexF3vQr1Fl8DvgCdEmiI8HjxcrXd/lcYWBRbbgRsJyMA oI2wi+ey5xU/UOl9THLM+spNTC9r =PzMK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Concerned about your privacy?
