windoz, what do u expect?
but seriously whoever installed this machine is an idiot. Cudos to the "white hacker" for exposing the flaws...although i wonder, could another, perhaps "greyish" hacker have compromised the machine and kept quiet about it? perhaps stealing CC info for his trouble? If you're wondering how he hacked the box, it's quite simple...open Gmail compose mail,then press attach file/browse...goto windows/system32 right click on command.com and then open.....hey presto, you've got a nice useful interface for doing all sorts of crap.....oh and to access the file system, all you have to do is type file:///c:/ into a browsers address bar.
I wonder how they're gonna fix these flaws? without uninstalling windows xp that is....
