That Cute Bunny Racing Across Your Screen Could Be Very Dangerous
Nasty hackers could use files related to Windows Animated Cursor (or, appropriately,
"WAC"), to
steal
all sorts of information from your computer. In fact, this is such a big
deal that Microsoft plans to
release
a special patch for the flaw -- apparently
three
months in the making. So be careful with those "vanity" cursors
out there -- those little bunnies and puppy dogs might be digging up your data
and putting it on the bad guys' doorsteps.
