Report: RSS Is a Target for Worms
Security researchers at Trend Micro are warning that RSS is a lucrative target for future bot worm attacks. What's worse, they're saying the onslaught will hit once RSS becomes a feature in Internet Explorer with Windows Vista. This isn't a surprise. Once you have a technology that brings in data to the desktop and it becomes popular, it's going to be attacked. Microsoft should be installing precautions so that IE is locked down when Vista launches next year. But are they? Only they know. I bet they are.
