Symantec advice on pcAnywhere
Advisories (26/1/12, 15:25)
After the unauthorized release of source code relating to several Symantec products by the hacker collective Anonymous, Symantec have stated that a significant risk of exploits to their pcAnywhere product exists with versions 12.0, 12.1, 12.5 and prior unsupported versions.
A recommendation direct from Symantec (see URL below) states “At this time, Symantec recommends disabling the product until Symantec releases a final set of software updates that resolve currently known vulnerability risks”.
The concern is related to a potential man in the middle attack which would allow the stealing of credentials that could allow unauthorized system access.
The pcAnywhere Security Recommendations direct from Symantec are located at the following URL:
