    Micro$oft got owned again

    The world's largest software maker was dealt a setback on Tuesday after the Internet Engineering Task Force decided not to adopt Microsoft's e-mail sender ID standard that would make it easier for Internet providers to block unwanted junk e-mail.

      "Microsoft, which now releases security bulletins and updates on a monthly cycle, said that its latest software flaw stems from the way its software processes images in the JPEG image format.


      Users opening a file or viewing a specific image could be at risk if a hacker exploits the flaw and tries to gain access to a personal computer. "

                      The idea of exploiting JPGs is actualy very old. I remember reading someones post on a hacker group who was offering the source code for this 3 years ago. Who knows when this has been used undetected since then.......

                          Well this isn't a surprise at all. Microsoft really needs to buy one of the top security companies and things like this wouldn't happen...
