Hacker exploits Microsoft server flaw
A hacker announced that time's up for system administrators who haven't patched Windows 2000 Web servers vulnerable to a flaw revealed by Microsoft two days ago.
The hacker--using the handle "Dark Spyrit"--released a program Wednesday night designed to exploit the security hole and give anyone with limited technical knowledge the ability to completely control a Windows 2000 server running version 5 of Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS) Web software.
