Er...whether its patched my Microsoft or patched by a hacker, the hacker still has the rootkit installed. Your suggestion is to give the hackers more time to install their rootkits? Brilliant.

Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Unofficial Microsoft patches help hackers, not security
From my blog:
""[Unofficial patches are available, as is a leaked official patch] [Unofficial patches are merely used by hackers as a tool to patch machines they've compromised, to stop other hackers hacking the same machine, although the machine is still accessable to the hacker.] [The consumer goes along to Windows Update on Tuesday and doesn't think they need a patch, because Microsoft tells them its not needed. Little does the consumer know their machine was patched by a hacker, who now has control over their computer network.]""
It means the unoffi
cial patch is as harmful as the vulnerability and exploit code its self.
