In my last article, a few days ago, I covered Symantec’s network being hacked back in 2006. One of Symantec’s products, pcAnywhere, was included in the list of programs which had its source code stolen.

In the most recent development of this story, now Symantec has released a technical white paper on the subject where it states “At this time, Symantec recommends disabling the product until Symantec releases a final set of software updates that resolve currently known vulnerability risks”.

If  you have pcAnywhere installed in your computer, I recommend you disable or uninstall it altogether to avoid the possibility of it being used as an attack vector to your computer(s). Contact me if you need help with that.
