A new warning that Vista users could be at greater risk from phishing, pharming and other unwanted attacks unless they turn off the Teredo IP tunneling system which Microsoft has made enabled by default in their newest operating system.

While Microsoft has most certainly beefed-up security in Windows Vista, it has also created new vulnerabilities, Teredo IP tunnelling sytem being one of them. The vulnerability warning was issued at the Black Hat 2007 conference by James Hoagland, principal security researcher for Symantec Corp. Vista users beware!

Apparently MS are due to release SP1 for Vista early next year, this is Microsoft's spin on it http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f...tasp1beta.mspx

Oh Kate, I've landed myself with a Vista machine, how do I (should I?) turn off this teredo tunneling system, and what would it mean if I did?
