Windows 2000 hit by password security flaw
A loophole in the random number generator of Windows 2000 can expose users' e-mail, password and credit card details, university researchers claim.
"This is not a theoretical discovery. Anyone who exploits this security loophole can definitely access this information on other computers," said Dr Benny Pinkas from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Haifa. Pinkas said all correspondence that emanated from a computer using Windows 2000 is susceptible to tracking. http://www.techworld.com/security/ne...S&NewsID=10636
