Re: This Bug Is Nasty, Brutish, And Sneaky - Hackers have raised the stakes with a new bugalmostimmune to detection

Yes you did Mike - just saw that. Been WAY too busy ! Sorry about the rerun.

And amazing the lack of response on this topic. Do folks not think it's a
serious problem or are they under the misunderstanding that their antivirus,
etc. software is protecting them ?

I was discussing this with our oldest last night and he is in IT also. He
changed jobs late last year and after reading the article he said "Glad I'm
working with POS stuff now" :-)

As I told him, Microsoft needs to get with IBM and ask them to help make
Windows system objects as secure as the iSeries is - half joking because
that ain't gonna happen. But Microsoft has absolutely GOT to find a way to
lock there OS down - this is ALL their fault and is a NIGHTMARE for ALL of
us that have to deal with this.

Hi Chuck,

FYI I posted this info back on March 23rd at
http://archive.midrange.com/pctech/200603/msg00110.html

What's also scary is this trojan can intercept unencrypted https traffic
too, so users may think their on-line banking is safe when in fact its not.
