Morpheus Users - Sharing More Than They Think? - P2P-Zone

JackSpratts · 04-02-02, 04:17 PM

It's starting to look like this is a very easy to do hack - against inexperienced users but in much the same vain as netstat -n. While different, it doesn't appear now to violate the drives of people who were careful about their set-ups. Although firewalls offer no protection you shouldn't have to worry if you're sure you did your initial share scheme correctly.

I'm going to continue recommending that regular, less savvy users avoid Morpheus until a patch is forthcoming (when that will be is an open question). I can't in good faith expose people to such a ridiculously easy attack. A seven year old can do this for Chr*st sake!
