I remember a public statement they once stated someone had hacked icq accounts via a trojan JPEG image, uhh, yeah, ok (r33t).I'm curious about how they did _that_ :) don't recall reading anything about that...
maybe it was really something like lame.jpg.exe (which could possibly fool REALLY dumb windows users who (a) have full filenames disabled, (b) see the faux .jpg extension, forget they have full filenames disabled, don't pay attention to the file's icon, and/or (c) werent paying attention at any point when it did happen to show the full filename. wasn't something similar done with the love bug "virus"? (what was it, love-letter-for-you.txt.vbs?) (slightly off topic, but, i have yet to see someone rant about this anywhere. hiding filename extensions is a pointless and potentially evil option.) -dis
