Well on this side of the pond, they are making a little bigger deal of it as it leaves all the sites you go to with pass words like e bay or banking sites or use of a credit card. That can be stolen by highjacking your computer. Of course Micro Suc says it is minimal as they rolled out another in a long line of products that weren't ready for use.
Whether it is by accident or on purpose it still will cause problems for all that have been hit by the thieves before it became public. Like with their latest greatest OP that parts work and parts don't. Have to keep the bottom line overinflated.
Local Cable ISP rolled out a Smart mail program, a couple of weeks ago works for crap and they forgot to include a way to check more than one e mail address they let you have up to 8 email addy's they have been working on it for 8 weeks(right). You have to log off and log back on unless you forward all of them to your main email. which works fine, but I was toward I can't do that on this system.
Boy if I had a clue about computers and software I guess I could take over the world!!!
So depending on what and were you read it. Yes there is a problem, and they will fix it some day.
