Hackers threaten to release Symantec source code tomorrow
Found on CNet News on Monday, 16 January 2012
Several reports surfaced earlier this month that hackers had managed to access the source code for certain Symantec products. Symantec identified the products as Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) 11.0 and Symantec Antivirus 10.2 but said the attack did not affect any current Norton consumer products.
Rob Rachwald, director of security strategy at Imperva, told CNET's Lance Whitney that the incident was "embarrassing on Symantec's part" but not likely to "keep the Symantec folks awake too late at night, and certainly not their customers."
Who would want any software from Symantec anyway? It's only a burden on any system.
