YET ANOTHER MICROSOFT XML vulnerability has been unearthed by security firm Internet Security Systems.

Apparently, an unsuspecting customer clicked onto a dodgy site and was going to be subjected to a new 0-day vulnerability exploit. However, ISS managed to use its Shellcode Heuristics technology to protect the unwitting customer from the as-yet undiscovered vulnerability, the company boasts.

Customers for ISS are pre-emptively covered against similar exploits, brags the firm, thanks to its SCH (Shellcode Heuristics) technology. The X-Force researchers were first to discover the new VoleSoft vulnerability, says ISS. µ

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?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
