It's really not realistic or reasonable to expect every PC user to be their own ever-vigilant security expert. I try to keep up on these things, and I had barely noticed. I doubt that 10% of VNC users read either slashdot or vnc-list, much less never miss anything important there.
Two things that occur to me that "ought" to have happened, which might have increased the visibility. 1) vnc should maintain it's own list, reserved for security flash alerts only, and strongly encourage anyone who installs vnc to sign up. 2) word should have been passed to norton, mcaffee, etc so they could target vulnerable versions of vnc on behalf of their customers. I don't know if this mechanism exists, but it ought to. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
