Windows 8 Runs 7-Year Old Malware (ouch)

One of the key points being marketed about Windows 8 is that it has much better security built into it than previous versions. I find it interesting that Microsoft will be releasing critical patches already.

Anyway, the fine folks at Bitdefender Labs decided to test Windows 8 against some malware and have posted the results. What they found is trully astonishing and I suspect Microsoft isn't going to be thrilled with it.

2008 Malware Challenge Revisited

My buddy Tyler Hudak has posted our a malware challenge contest that we ran in 2008.  We thought it would be a good idea to give those who haven't tried it an opportunity to do so.

Check out the challenge here at Security Shoggoth's blog:
