Hello full-disclosurers, Does anyone know anything interesting about Support_388945a0 account which is created by default during Windows XP/2003 installation? I have seen MS technet links, maybe someone knows more about?
That is a "help and support account" that you should disable. Also set very long random password and forget it. ________________________________________________________________________ Delivered using the Free Personal Edition of Mailtraq (www.mailtraq.com) _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
