Another way to defend against possible exploitation, said Friedrichs, is to set MSN Messenger so that it refuses messages from anonymous users, preventing anyone but known friends and colleagues from contacting you without your permission. Microsoft has posted an updated edition of MSN Messenger 6.1 on the software's home page which closes the security hole. 'Documents with non-specific names would be safe from viewing, but an attacker could target password databases of known programs, for instance, or e-mail archives of Outlook.' With such a list, it wouldn't be tough for an experienced hacker to combine code from a known worm to run amok amongst MSN Messenger users.Īlthough the attacker has to know the name of the file he or she wants to view, that wouldn't stop dangerous scenarios from developing, said Friedrichs.

'This has the most potential for widespread impact,' he said, 'especially if a hacker could somehow harvest a large list of Messenger user names to exploit this vulnerability en mass.'
