New Worm Morto Using RDP To Infect Windows PCs 200
Trailrunner7 writes "A new worm called Morto has begun making the rounds on the Internet, infecting machines via Remote Desktop Protocol. The worm is generating a large amount of outbound RDP traffic on networks that have infected machines, and Morto is capable of compromising both servers and workstations running Windows. Users who have seen Morto infections are reporting in Windows help forums that the worm is infecting machines that are completely patched and are running clean installations of Windows Server 2003."

I don't know
I read a comment here from some guy named anonymous coward that stated Windows is just as secure as Unix and MacOSX and it is only hacked because more people use it. After all IE 6 and IE 7 are staples of good security and coding according to him. More people use it ... thats it!
