Kommenteeri - Microsoft on sunnitud Messengeri uuendama

Neowin'i sõnul on kõik MSN Messenger 6.1'e ja 6.2'e kasutajad sunnitud uuendama oma Messengeri versiooni viimase buildini.

Lühike teadaanne seisnes järgnevalt: "See uuendus sisaldab endas kaitset viimaste nädalate rünnakute eest. Ainuke võimalus Messengeri logida on selle uuenduse installimine. "

Microsoft on teadlik sellest, et internetis levib kood, mis sihib end eelmisel nädalal käsitletud teemale: Microsoft Security Bulletin MS05-009. Ometigi ei ole Microsoftil andmeid selle kohta, kas lähiajal on oodata aktiivrünnakut või mitte. Kasutajaskonda aga teatakse iga ohumärgi puhul, nii et hoidke silmad lahti! Msn Messenger 7.0 kasutajaid see ei mõjuta.
