[Tech ARP] ED#84 : Microsoft Silently Rolls Out Anti-Hack Update For W

[news 28]

Hello fellow editors!

 

Tech ARP ( http://www.techarp.com/ <http://www.techarp.com/>'>http://www.techarp.com/> ) has just

posted the ED#84 : Microsoft Silently Rolls Out Anti-Hack Update For

Windows Vista.

 

Quote - The release of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 not only heralded a

long-awaited update of the operating system, it also meant the end of

two common Windows Vista anti-activation exploits - the Grace Timer

exploit and the Paradox OEM BIOS activation crack. But those who think

they can escape by not up[censored] to Service Pack 1 would be sadly

mistaken.

 

That's because Microsoft has surreptitiously released an anti-hack

detection update via Windows Update. Those who chose to have Windows

Vista install updates automatically would have this update installed and

running by now.

 

Here's a quote from the editorial :-

 

"You can see that the KB940510 update is listed as Important. At

this point, most users would assume it's an important patch that fixes

flaws in Windows Vista and install it. Double-click on the update and

you will find this short description."
