 <\/p>\n

After loosing  Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition source code in 2006, now Symantec is asking its customer to stop usage of Norton\/PcAnywhere which was also leaked on Internet.<\/p>\n

The security firm said the theft occurred in 2006, compromising 2006-era version of Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition, Norton Internet Security and Norton SystemWorks and most important "pcAnywhere<\/strong>", which could allow malicious users to gain complete access to systems and data very easily.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Also it is intresting to add that the guy who hacked that code also released source code of Indian Spy software <\/p>\n

\n

“So far we have discovered within the Indian Spy Program source codes of a dozen software companies which have signed agreements with Indian TANCS programme and CBI”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What does that mean? Indian agencies are doing signed agreements for spying using Symantec\/Norton products and others???? must be those agreements are not in favor of Pakistan \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

"The headline is very embarrassing to Symantec,"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Anup Ghosh, founder and CEO of Virginian security firm Invincea, told FoxNews.com at the time.<\/p>\n

\n

"But this has now become the normal in securities. Every single corporation is susceptible to threats."<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

hahahah, very funny!!!!
\n\t<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

“Symantec recommends disabling the product until Symantec releases a final set of software updates that resolve currently known vulnerability risks,” the company wrote in an online statement<\/a> about the hacking.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

The “The Lords of Dharmaraja”, the hacking group who authored the Pastebin note, has released the code online(last week).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some security tips from (Ira Victor, a security expert in Nevada):-<\/p>\n

1. Do not use a "suite" of security protection from any one firm. A mixture of best of breed security is more secure.<\/p>\n

2. Usernames and passwords alone are not enough protection for remote access. A single-use password system makes unauthorized remote access exponentially harder for cyber criminals.<\/p>\n

3. Do not run computers in "Administrator" mode. Run systems in "User mode" so that malware does not install automatically.<\/p>\n

4. Businesses should deploy application "whitelisting." This will prevent unauthorized malware from running on computers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
