A new security problem

If you take computer security with regard, you may want to epoxy the firewire connections on your windows boxes closed. Apparently, there is a nice little hack available running linux on another computer computer and hooking up to a windows box, yes your password can easily be bypassed, Apparently it has been shown to work on Apple boxes too, so it looks as if it is a memory access problem with firewire's code.

Also, here is a very good video on net neutrality, I would suggest everyone watch it and understand what will happen if corporations are allowed to own the net.
