Well whatta ya know...I *AM* psychic!

...MS's recent stand on exploit disclusure is an atrocity.
Yea, I'd *love* to find out, 3 months after the fact, that my personal and credit card data, has been available to any script kiddee with an internet connection, and MS knew about it the whole time...kiss my ass.

From The Register on 09/11/02:
"A malicious Win-XP Help Center request can easily and silently delete the contents of any directory on your Windows machine, we've learned. Worse, MS has rolled the fix silently into SP1 without making a public announcement.
...The hole was discovered by Shane Hird of Distributed Systems Technology Centre, who first reported it to MS on 25 June 2002."

And yet again.....
Keystrokes, including passwords, can be sniffed when using Windows Terminal Server or the XP remote control feature. MS has rolled a fix silently into SP1 without making any public statement on this serious problem.
...This hole was discovered by Ben Cohen of security developer Skygate, who reported it to MS on April 16.
