Hacker leaves message for Microsoft in Trojan code

,----[ Quote ]
| Here's a new way to get Microsoft to pay attention to you: Slip a brief 
| message into the malicious Trojan horse program you just wrote. 
| 
| That's what an unnamed Russian hacker did recently with a variation of 
| Win32/Zlob, a Trojan program victims are being tricked into installing on 
| their computers.  
| 
| The message is surprisingly cordial, given that Microsoft's security 
| researchers spend their days trying to put people like Zlob's author out of 
| business. "Just want to say 'Hello' from Russia. You are really good guys. It 
| was a surprise for me that Microsoft can respond on threats so fast," the 
| hacker wrote, adding, "Happy New Year, guys, and good luck!"

Microsoft issues security patch for unreleased software

| "A security issue has been identified that could allow an authenticated

| control over it," the security update says.
|
| The more than 6,000 attendees who will be walking away from the sold-out
| event with the Windows 7 operating system software in hand could have been
| vulnerable to an attacker exploiting the security hole.
