Social engineering autoplay tricks work on early versions of Windows 7 as
well as Vista, according to tests by security researchers.

AutoPlay trickery

As well as spreading by exploiting a weeks-old Microsoft vulnerability, the
Conficker (Downadup) worm attempts to spread across network shares and to
infect removable drives, using a special malformed autorun.inf file.

The use of a clever social engineering ruse means that users plugging an
infected drive (such as a USB drive) into a Windows Vista machine might
well be lulled into the idea they are clicking on a link that simply opens
a folder, rather than actually running the worm's viral payload.

The same trick, first noticed by researchers at the Internet Storm Centre on
Vista, also works on beta versions of Windows 7, researchers at F-secure
have discovered.

Windows 7 is still in development, so there might still be time to modify
how AutoPlay works in order to limit the scope for social engineering
attacks. Conficker will surely not be unique in exploiting the ruse to
trick users, so a change would surely be welcome.

Ah, les autoplay de Windows, c'est merveilleux! Linux, un OS arriéré sait
pas faire ça. Programmeurs minables, vous voyez?

Et puis, pour se débarasser d'un vers, c'est très simple: il suffit de
savoir comment il fonctionne:

Vous voyez? C'est très simple à lire.

Windows forever!

Et Vista qu'on disait super étanche... plus ça change plus c'est
pareil.
Il n'y a que Microsoft pour croire qu'ils sont les seuls à voir des
programmeurs.
