Stefano has a problem with people publishing hacks on the net.  He congratulates them for being “stupid.”   I think he's talking about this story from this story from Netcraft:  Here's an excerpt:.

The critical security hole allows a remote attacker to create a JPEG image that, when viewed in Microsoft software programs, could allow the hacker to gain control of the computer. The flaw was revealed by Microsoft Sept. 14, along with a security update that addresses it. Code that partially exploits the flaw was published last week, and has been rapidly developed into code that could be used in an attack using a virus or worm.

The latest exploit, published this morning on the Full Disclosure mailing list, claims to be able to create an administrator-level account on Windows machines.

Not to pick on Stefano, but I don't think these hackers are at all stupid, in fact, the ones posting hacks on the net, and not using these exploits, are not only very smart, but doing us all a big service too!
