Just a week after the launch of Microsoft Windows Vista suffered the first attack by hackers.
However, Vista is just a victim of abuse in this attack, not a target. The target of hackers is those who do not want to spend money to buy a license to use Vista but want to use the "pirated" version of Vista.
This is a trojan that is considered extremely dangerous. However, most antivirus software today can identify and kill this trojan if users are careful.
This type of attack is not a new attack method. Previously Windows XP suffered a similar attack.
Only business users who have signed an agreement with Microsoft can download the Windows Vista version. The user version will be available next month.
Because of this, security researchers are concerned about the status of the trojan, which can spread vigorously in the business user community, resulting in unexpected damage.
