Students crack Microsoft CardSpace

,----[ Quote ]
| Students at the Ruhr University of Bochum, Germany, say they have found a way 
| to steal security tokens in Microsoft's new CardSpace authentication 
| framework. Attackers can apparently get access to protected, encrypted user 
| data – such as passwords, credit card numbers, and delivery addresses – when 
| they are transmitted.

Vista security credentials tarnished in malware survey

,----[ Quote ]
| "[Vista]has been hailed by Microsoft as the most secure version of Windows to
| date. However, recent research conducted with statistics from over 1.4
| million computers within the ThreatFire community has shown that Windows
| Vista is more susceptible to malware than the eight year old Windows 2000
| operating system, and only 37 per cent more secure than Windows XP," said
| Simon Clausen, chief exec at PC Tools.
