Security Briefing – October 24th

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,
The Intern
