Are the bad guys phishing while Microsoft's out to lunch? Despite the discovery last month of an Internet Explorer bug that expedites Web site spoofing, or phishing, security experts wonder why Microsoft still hasn't issued a fix. The browser is so deeply entwined with the Windows XP operating system that the company doesn't want to risk creating more problems than it solves. "Microsoft will only release a patch, when warranted, that is well-engineered and as thoroughly tested as possible, whether that is a day, week, month or longer," a company spokeswoman said.

Microsoft Responds to SP2 Security
Center Issue

Microsoft Responds to SP2 Security
Center Issue 08/27/2004 03:42 PM
Microsoft has responded to Neowin with regard to the XP SP 2 problem story we ran yesterday, as reported by PC Magazine & e-Week. The open letter is an unedited version of what we received early this morning.

Dear Neowin,

We wanted to alert you to some misguided press reports that may cause Microsoft customers undue concern. Some articles have posted that claim there is a highly critical vulnerability that would allow a malicious user to spoof the Windows Security Center in Windows XP SP2 however this claim is not accurate. we don’t know how closely you have been following this issue, but we wanted to make sure you had the facts from Microsoft.

As you know Windows Security Center, found in the Windows XP Control panel, provides customers the ability to easily check the status of essential security functionalities such as firewalls, automatic updates and antivirus. Windows Security Center will inform users whether key security capabilities are turned on and up to date and will notify users if it appears that updates need to be made or if additional action steps may need to be taken to help them get more secure.

To clarify, there is not a vulnerability in the Windows Security Center. In order for an attacker to spoof the Windows Security Center, he or she would have to have local administrator rights on the computer (ed. XP Homes default user is 'Admin', and many XP Pro users set their account to admin status for a hassle free life). If an attacker were granted access to a user’s system, either by being granted them or attaining them by enticing a user to open a malicious attachment, the criminal actions the attacker could pursue include many that are far more serious than just spoofing the Windows Security Center. In Windows XP SP2, we have added functionality to reduce the likelihood of unknown applications from running on the user’s system including turning Windows Firewall on by default, Data Execution Prevention and Attachment Manager in Outlook Express, to name a few.

All the best,
Windows Community Team

Microsoft, Yahoo Issue Responses to
Gmail Challenge

Microsoft, Yahoo Issue Responses to
Gmail Challenge 06/21/2004 10:39 AM
Responding to the impending public release of Google's Gmail service, which is offering users a full gigabyte (1 GB) of email storage space, Microsoft's MSN Hotmail and Yahoo's Mail service are both dramatically increasing their storage allotments. Yahoo's updated service debuted late last week, but Microsoft's planned update should be available soon. Yahoo Mail can't quite match Gmail's 1 GB offering, but the service has made a dramatic jump from the previous 4 MB limitation to 100 MB, which Yahoo executives say should be enough for most users. "What we are trying to do is take storage off the table as an issue," said Yahoo vice president Brad Garlinghouse, noting that Yahoo previously charged users $60 a year for 100 MB of storage. Yahoo also raised the email attachment size limit from 3 MB to 10 MB, and the company now offers only one paid upgrade package: For $20 a year, users can upgrade to a whopping 2 GB of storage space. Users who pay for Yahoo Mail will also see no graphical ads, the company says.
