Heard about this at work today. Not easy to just "disable the product" when we use it to dial into like 5000 customer locations across the country. The security warning has been swept under the carpet, and I suspect this will be repeated across a lot of bigger businesses. A company still using modems to access remote computers when broadband has been available for years clearly does not understand enough to give a shit.

Also pretty funny that Symantec, who make their money based on the trust people have in the company's ability to secure a PC, have had their computers hacked.

And that’s what you get for using crapware. If you want remote access, use remote assistance, remote desktop, or a secure VPN, not Norton bloatware.
