Steve Gibson: MS WMF is a Backdoor, Not a Coding Mistake
Friday, January 13 2006 @ 11:18 AM EST

Those of you using Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP will want to follow this 
story: Steve Gibson has examined WMF and he now believes it was 
deliberately coded. It looks to him that Microsoft put a backdoor into 
Windows, which can be triggered even if Active X is turned off and security 
is at high. It could be a renegade coder, he says, but it's not, in his 
view, bad design or a mistake.
