First official image-based virus out & about:

http://it.slashdot.org/it/04/09/27/2319222.shtml?tid=172&tid=218

"Earlier this month Microsoft announced a problem in their GDI driver that processes the way JPEG images are displayed. Someone has finally posted an exploit to Usenet. Easynews, a premium Usenet provider, found the virus Sunday afternoon. Up-to-date information about how we found it and what it does is located at www.easynews.com/virus.txt. When this picture is viewed it installs remote management software (winvnc and radmin) and will connect to irc."

Hmmm...with so many people *and* companies (for once) having had it up to here with MSFT's security problems lately, could this finally be the "tipping point" for some of 'em?
