Have you patched that flaw in the Remote Access Service (RAS)? Have you noticed how hard it's been to get into the VPN since then? Oops! Microsoft says the patch (released June 12) has a bug that can keep you from making a VPN connection. The company has now patched the patch and made the new version available on the TechNet site. It will be part of the Windows Update service soon.

JPEG virus surfaces; Klez endures (SearchSecurity)
June was a relatively quiet month in terms of damaging malicious code, but worms like Perrun that could potentially run code from a JPEG file were introduced as proof-of-concept pieces. Yaha and Frethem also surfaced while Nimda, Badtrans and Sircam continue to populate the lists of most-prevalent viruses.

MS security plan shouldn't shut out competitors (The Associated Press)
Microsoft's Palladium security initiative is fine and dandy, but it had better play nice with others. That's the general message from the European Union's antitrust watchdogs who suspect Palladium might shut out other companies' technologies. Palladium will use Windows and computer chips to secure data so that only the intended recipient could use it. Skeptics in Europe wonder if these Palladium-protected files would be accessible to Mac or Linux users.

Chinese vendors tap niche for novel cell phones
China -- the most populous nation in the world and the pickiest people on earth when it comes to cell phones. About five million of them are sold every month in China, but they aren't the kinds that appeal to the rest of the world. Big firms like Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia and Siemens have found it tough to make a connection with the finicky and fashion-conscious Chinese, many of whom like to mix whimsy with their wireless. Small vendors are popping up all over the place and catering to those tastes. One of them sells a cell phone wrapped in fish skin (maybe it's waterproof). Another vendor sells a handset that's covered in diamonds. And yet another sells a phone that cuts a rug when it rings.
