Microsoft says Windows flaw could bring worm attack

23.10.2008
Due to a reporting error, the story, "Microsoft says Windows flaw could bring worm attack," posted Thursday misspelled the name of DigiTrust Director of Professional Services Marc Maiffret. The story has been corrected on the wire and the last paragraph now reads:

Although the attack code seems to have been used in only very targeted attacks, it could become a more widespread problem, according to Marc Maiffret, director of professional services with The DigiTrust Group. "It will really depend on whether or not someone wants to cause a bit of chaos and make a ... name for themselves," he said via instant message. "The reality is that bad guys do not like worms because they cause more people to patch."
