New Vista Attack to be Unveiled at Black Hat Conference - Webmonkey

Mark Dowd of IBM Internet Security Systems and Alexander Sotirov of VMware, claim to have a way of completely bypassing all the much-hyped memory safeguards of Windows Vista, rendering the system vulnerable to the whims of an attacker. Details are thin at this point, but NeoWin reports that the pair “were able to load whatever content they wanted into any location they wished on a user’s machine using a variety of scripting languages, such as Java, ActiveX and even .NET objects.”

lol if a hacker wants to do something there is really nothing to stop him... So this news doesn't do anything to me in a sence of insecurity around being vulnerable.
