But this is so so old, so how did he get the credit...

Its been an issue Microsoft have ignored for years, and still not actually fixed.

Much as I dislike Wikipedia, this article sums up most of it

Having a rogue DHCP server to man in the middle attack is still not even accepted by Microsoft security as an attack vector

Firefox patched under Ubuntu yesterday

I run Ubuntu on my laptop at home (XP on my gaming desktop), and I had a patch for the proxy exploit yesterday when I got home.

Good to see companies moving quickly to squash bugs. :)

Cheers,
John

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
