soar away Vista as the most secure ever, a security outfit is claiming that it
is just creating newer and more spectacular flaws.
Symantec, which has been playing with the beta software, says it is less
stable and secure, at least for now. In a security report into Vista,
Symantec said that Vole has removed shedloads of good, tried and tested code
and replaced it with new stuff. This means that it has bugs and defects in the
short term. Ed.note: Symantec need to sort their own software out first!!

A
worm is targeting MySpace users, compromising their "About me" pages and
infecting visitors to them, Symantec has warned. When a logged-in
MySpace user goes to another member's "About me" page affected by the
ACTS.Spaceflash worm, they are quietly redirected to a URL that holds a
malicious Macromedia Flash file, the security company said in an advisory on
Spaceflash Tuesday. That file, in turn, will replace the visitor's own "About
me" page with one that is compromised.
- Criminals exploit net phone calls - Malicious hackers are turning
to net phone systems in a bid to trick people into handing over personal
details.
Security firms have identified several scams in which net phone systems

called about supposed fraudulent activity on their credit card. So far few
people have been caught out but security firms expect the number of scams to
grow.
