Submission + - Patch Tuesday - Pick an exploit, any exploit

jginspace writes: "As per last Thurday's advance notification Microsoft has just released five general Windows updates and one for XML. So what's new? Well a grand total of five are rated 'critical'.

We have the omni-present Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (922760) - pay particular attention to the "HTML Rendering Memory Corruption Vulnerability" - and a nasty-sounding "Vulnerability in Workstation Service".

Last month Microsoft Office took the limelight; this month "Remote Code Execution" targetting the core services seems to be de rigeur. Keep your systems patched, don't run unecessary services and don't run more than you have to as administrator. Sign up for notifications here."

Submission + - What's not illegal in Singapore?

jginspace writes: Surprised this hasn't been posted, a 17-year-old from Singapore is is facing three years' jailtime for accessing his neighbour's wireless network.

Yup, the neighbour complained and now the unfortunate Tan Jia Luo is facing charges under the computer misuse act and is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.

It must be great having such lovely neighbours.
