Security Briefing – October 24th
Author: The Intern
Rumour yesterday was that the MS08-067 was potentially “wormable” – that’s since been proven. Information shared via Twitter @lithium, uploaded to MalwareDB under /lithium-malware .
I hope your weekend has equal parts relaxation and sleep, with a side of frivolity just to keep it real.
Signed,
