Vista Already Hacked
Well it seems Vista has already been hacked. An undetectable program (Blue Pill) can bypass Vista security and the install unauthorized software. Microsoft is currently looking into how to secure Vista against this before its release.
We can be happy that this was found before the release of Vista and not after it, but that does leave the question as to whether other equally serious issues are hiding inside Vista.
I do have to congratulate Joanna Rutkowska from COSEINC for finding the hack. Has it even been a week since Microsoft challenged the hacking community to break Vista's security?
Here is what Joanna Rutkowska has to say about it.
