Shout-hack Shout-hack let it all Out-hack

Ok, so everybody in the world knows that Microsoft has a new OS out, called Vista. Already there is a vulnerability. Apparently, with the voice recognition, someone could shout-hack (the stupid term applied to this) you and do bad stuff to your PC. Now this raises a few points:

  • 1) You have to either sit at the computer and tell it what to do, or
  • 2) The user has to be tricked into playing a sound file

That is hilarious. You have to be a freeking moron to have this compromise your computer. And if #1 is the case, why not just steal the damn thing, instead of setting up a password?
