Microsoft ignores malware evolution threat to Office
,----[ Quote ]
| "At Kaspersky Lab" the report notes "we even started betting on how long
| it would take for a new vulnerability to be detected in Office after
| the previous patch had been released. And the question wasn't whether
| a new vulnerability would be detected, but when: in each case, it was
| clearly only a matter of time, and not much time at that." To make
| matters worse, for pretty much all of the reported vulnerabilities there
| were literally dozens of Trojans detected, so we are not talking
| isolated attacks here but large scale, determined exploitation of
| known holes.

| Chatting with the Microsoft senior sales people, I was struck by
| their incredible arrogance. They know the company's products are good,
| but they have no qualms whatsoever about charging top dollar as a
| result.

| It reminds us how Microsoft used to behave when it comes to their
| products' security records. IE5 and 6 were nothing short of being
| proper Swiss Cheese with loads of holes in them but hey, they had 95%
| of the browser market at that time and couldn't care less.
