Government issues second warning on Microsoft security flaw LOS ANGELES - The Department of Homeland Security has issued an unprecedented second warning to Internet users about a security flaw in Microsoft Corp. software that could leave about 75 percent of the country's computers vulnerable to hacker attacks. The latest warning comes two weeks after Microsoft issued a bulletin notifying computer users it had discovered a critical flaw in its most common Windows operating systems, including its newest versions, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. The flaw can let hackers use the Internet to seize control of users' machines to steal files, read e-mails and launch wide-scale computer virus and ``worm'' attacks that could seriously damage the Internet. . . . -- dep Feelings of worthlessness are often brought on by worthlessness. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
