Following the recent Microsoft WMF flaw, there's an article in ZDNet talking a bout how Microsoft is now going to "scour its code to look for flaws similar to a recen t serious Windows bug and to update its development practices to prevent similar problem s in future products." The full text of the article can be found at: http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1009_22-6024778.html
I like this line: "This kind of threat has not been anticipated before", from Microsoft. Mobile code hasn't been anticipated? C'mon! --Steve Bellovin, http://www.stevebellovin.com
