Peek a boo... Here's a virus

Do you use a web cam much? Business meetings? Family or friendly connections? With so many Internet-enabled communications toys these days it was only a matter of time before they found a way to give you a virus by web cam session. This may not be the first vulnerability, just the first I've noticed for MSN Messenger.

It looks like a simple upgrade should get you around the sticky parts. Unless of course you're on a Linux or Mac OS X box, in which case you can giggle and move on now.....

Five Years, No Patches, Govt Server, Worm Virus, OBVIOUSLY HAPPENED IN FLORIDA

New concerns about the accuracy of electronic voting in Sarasota County, Florida are being raised after a published report documented how the county's main database system came under attack from a virulent worm. The county server was breached on the first day of early voting in the 2006 election, which included a now-disputed race for a seat in the US House of Representatives.
The attack code was a variant of the infamous Slammer worm that penetrated the county's server, which unbelievably, was missing five years worth of security patches, according to an article painstakingly reported by investigative journalist Brad Friedman. The breach crippled the county's entire network, including the electronic voting system, where net connectivity was disrupted for two hours. Those trying to vote during the outage were turned away.
