Q.Is this all being performed thru :1214?
A. Inasmuch as Morpheus trades on 1214, probably, but it's different from the well known netstat -n hack.
Q.Is there a way we can monitor (using netstat or other) these activities such as strangely sloooooooow downloads?
A.Undoubtedly. However if you're sophisticated enough to do that then this is not a hack you'll have to worry about.
Q.Does a firewall have any effect or is its protection negated due to the user giving Morpheus server rights?
A.Firewalls have no effect against this as long as morpheus works.
Q.Does this particular weakness apply to all file sharing applications?
A. Not that I'm aware of. For instance it has no effect on WinMx 2.6 but expect to hear more in coming days. As always with all clients including Morpheus make absolutely sure you and your familly are only sharing exactly what you want to share.
