Not to be a jerk, but I think you want to be careful when throwing the below line as a security risk. For two reasons. 1. Has someone written a tool to do this yet? Maybe so, but are you going to tell a CFO the *potential* for wrongness at some arbitrary time in the future? Again maybe so, but this is a very shaky foundation for a stance. The difference here may be whether we're talking about a remote exploit or wormable issue, or just something like a social engineering attack such as a link to badness. I'm just saying you need more than just this statement. 2. Can't I level that same argument against pretty much every software and hardware technology you and every company uses daily? <- snip -> Skype can be used to penetrate into your network if someone write the right tool for it.
