Morpheus security risk


Pedro used our newssubmit to tell us that a security flaw has been found in Morpheus:

A security hole has been discovered in one of the world's most popular file-swapping programs which allows anyone to gain private information about its millions of users.

Security experts have found a way to gain access to the computer hard drives of users of Morpheus, which has taken over from Napster as the leading internet song-swapping service.

It means that the personal details, such as bank account numbers and internet cookies, of up to two million people are exposed to prying eyes.

So I guess we'll see a new version of Morpheus in the next few days. To read more about this security risk, click here.
