The subject of this shouldn't be what it is... >From some of the other articles floating around on this only eWeek seems to have really gone after the MS angle so they could use that subject to get more attention. All of the other articles are a single line of the entire article where Gabe states **we speculate** it might have been this but then make statements that throw doubt on Valves security as a whole and the focus absolutely isn't an IE hole. Just that it might have been and his Windows machine was acting kwerky for a bit.
It might have been a hole in IE. It also might have been someone running some random attachment from someone or it might have been Colonel Mustard in the Kitchen with the Candlestick or possibly an employee trying to impress some chick to get laid or simply make a point. See bottom of http://www.neowin.net/comments.php?id=14171&category=gamers. Barring any "bad activity" from internal sources, if someone could get onto Valve's internal network with info from a simple keylogger or even if given a single password, Valve has some serious issues they need to work out before ever attaching to the internet again. As someone else posted and I paraphrase, "how can you trust the software from that company now?". It sounds like they have no understanding of who is doing what with it. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thor Larholm Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 4:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?s=e6e7d0ce0abe19997425ef50fa7 fe1df&threadid=10692 Regards Thor Larholm PivX Solutions, LLC - Senior Security Researcher http://pivx.com/larholm/unpatched - 31 Unpatched IE Security Vulnerabilities _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
