Windows Security Flaw Being Exploited

The anticipated exploit of a flaw in one of the Windows functions called RPC (Remote Procedure Call) has begun. This flaw basically allows a hacker to be able to gain full control of a workstation or server that has not had a patch that has been provided by Microsoft installed. This is a very serious threat! All workstations and servers should have the patch installed. In addition, ports 135 and 4444 should be closed on firewalls and the latest virus definition files should be installed. More information can be found on our website.

More information on the Windows RPC flaw can be found on the Microsoft Site.
