Microsoft Vista speaker attack…

Hilarious….

"George Ou writes in his blog that he found a remote exploit for the new and shiny Vista Speech Control. Specifically, websites playing soundfiles can trigger arbitrary commands. Ou reports that Microsoft confirmed the bug and suggested as workarounds that either ‘A user can turn off their computer speakers and/or microphone’; or, ‘If a user does run an audio file that attempts to execute commands on their system, they should close the Windows Media Player, turn off speech recognition, and restart their computer.’ Well, who didn’t see that coming? (Slashdot)"
