It is important to always patch your Windows

Posted on February 4th, 2007.


The official Web site of Dolphin Stadium, home of Sunday’s Super Bowl XLI, has been hacked and exploit code was spreaded from the website targeting two known Windows security flaws, MS06-014 and MS07-004.

If your Windows is not patched, your computer will be connected to a remote server and dowload a Trojan keylogger/backdoor that will give the attacker full access to your machine. Therefore, always keep your Windows up to date with latest security patches, because your computer can be easily and silently attacked.

To this time, the site is already disinfected.

And the tip for today is, always update your Windows. As the Microsoft engineers are not so good compared to the hackers out there, there will be always security holes in Windows. Download your Windows Update here.

You are lucky not to be affected. By the way, I also never patched my Windows before because I used pirated copy. Now, with original copy, I always patch my Windows.
