Critical Vulnerability in Microsoft Server Message Block (SMB)


I know this alert has been out for about a month.. but i’m pretty sure MANY of the windows user out there are not aware of this. This is still ‘panas’ as many of those who knew this will try on the local network to see the results.
If you think you are not affected, think again. List of windows operating systems that are vulnerable:
* Windows Vista Service Pack 0, Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2
* Windows Vista x64 Edition Service Pack 0, Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2
* Windows Server 2008 for 32-bit Systems Service Pack 0 and Service Pack 2
* Windows Server 2008 for x64-based Systems, Service Pack 0 and Service Pack 2
* Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-based, Service Pack 0 and Service Pack 2

this probably including the Windows 7 versions. Users are advice to follow steps here
or install the fix by microsoft here

You’ve been warned
