Disable pcAnywhere - Anonymous have stolen source code.

IIRC a few people on here have been discussing Remote Desktop software recently. Probably nothing but Symantec have told customers to disable it until they patch all vulnerabilities.

Makes you wonder why they didn't patch them before the leak! Especially given that the code they have is about six years old.

Presumably because the hacks they could make are based on the fact they have the source code. I'm no programmer but surely NoSourceCode=HardHacks LotsOfSourceCode=EasyHacks ????
