Things are getting more poopy (And abit more interesting as well)…
According to an ASTALAVISTA article, iViZ vice presedent said that hackers can use “common” anti-viruses for their own good by sending special crafted emails to victims that the antivirus would detect and crash due to some bugs found in the anti-virus that the hacker exploited by forging such email and cause panic (whether stealing your data or just cause DoS for the fun of it)…
In case you’re wondering who the hell is iViZ (Which I did when I first time read the article), it’s some company who developed the first AI based human hacker simulation an they’ve been recognized by Intel, University of California, Berkeley, London Business School, US Navy, US Homeland Security, Red Herring and Nasscom.
Mac and Linux users note:
Don’t give me the “Get a Mac\Linux… It’s secured”… It’s less targeted (which means less malwares ofcourse) but wouldn’t mean it’s %100 secured without a security suit’s need… If you still don’t get this point then you’re in no place to talk about security issues…
Well, Here’s the ASTALAVISTA link if you’re more interested.
