news: Morpheus security problem

[cleverhandle]

Slashdot reported this yesterday night. The original BBC article is here.

Looks like certain Morpheus installations allow access to the entire drive through some bug or another.

Hope this isn't a repost - didn't see it around.

Ars Technica did a good bebunking on this issue on their front page. It isn't a security problem, its just that some people are stupid and share their entire drive.

that's pretty funny....it doesnt share the whole drive by default so that makes it even funnier since PEOPLE are somehow accidentally sharing the whole drive....
