In the beginning the WGA was an opt-in feature, and then slowly it became mandatory. Users who choose not to validate their copy of Windows can not download updates from Windows update (they still can download critical security updates via automatic update feature in Windows).

8.5.2008Fifteen minutes to crack WPA protocol, says researcher
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is considered a superior encryption protocol to the aged and inherently flawed WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), but it is
not without its vulnerability, as one researcher is preparing to demonstrate...

06.11.2008WPA is going the way of WEP, cracked in 15 minutes flat
According to
PC World the days of securing your WIFI network using Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA) may be over, as researcher Erik Tews will show how he was able to crack WPA encryption in around 15 minutes at a the Tokyo
PacSec Conference in two weeks time.
WPA was designed to overcome the insecurities in
hacked Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) which can be hacked in a few minutes using a modern laptop.
Erik Tews will be demonstrating how he
cracked the WPA encryption to read the data being sent from a router to a laptop.
To read the data being sent Tews found a way to crack
the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) key without resorting to using a dictionary attack which, security experts have agreed that the protocol
might be vulnerable too.
Although this is a big step Tews was still unable to crack the keys used to encrypt the data being sent back to the
router from the laptop.
If the demonstration lives up to its headline then the days of WPA look to be numbered. This would come as a big
blow to both consumers and corporations alike.
WPA is the most common standard of encryption in uses but, there is also a newer more
secure standard WPA2, (which uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and is unaffected), although support is still patchy. Consumer may find they are
forced to still rely on the now unsecure WPA encryption to connect their devices to the network.
For Business this is even bigger headache.
The TJ Maxx chain had hundreds of millions of customer details stolen due in part to the fact that they were still using the cracked WEP standard.
It’s easy to see a situation where hackers may try to do the same using WPA forcing corporate users to VPN or WPA2 dumping devices that
can’t support these protocols.

06.11.2008Microsoft exec calls XP hack 'frightening'
A Microsoft executive calls the ease with which two British e-crime specialists managed to hack into a Windows XP computer as both "enlightening and
frightening."
The demonstration took place Monday at an event sponsored by
Get Safe Online--a joint initiative of the U.K. government and industry. At the event, which was aimed at heightening security
awareness among small businesses, two members of the U.K. government intelligence group
Serious
Organized Crime Agency connected a machine running Windows XP with Service Pack 1 to an unsecured wireless network. The machine was running no
antivirus, firewall, or anti-spyware software and
contained a sample target file of passwords to be stolen.
The SOCA officials wished to remain anonymous. One of them, "Mick,"
remained behind a screen while carrying out the hack into the unpatched computer of a fellow officer, "Andy."

The hack, which affects Windows XP computers but has not yet been
tested with Windows Vista, was first demonstrated, at a security conference in Sydney in 2006, but Microsoft has yet to develop a fix. But now that a
couple of years have passed and the issue has not resolved, Boileau, decided to release the tool on his website.

12.10.2007New UK police powers to hack without a warrant
To the outrage of civil liberties groups and the government opposition, the UK Home Office has begun permitting police and MI5 officers to hack
("remote search") people's computers without their knowledge and without a court warrant. Information gleaned can then be shared with other
European forces, in line with a shift in EU policy. The goal, as with all such moves, is to track down terrorists, paedophiles, and cybercriminals.
One method for stealth surveillance involves installing spyware on targetted individuals' computers, normally by sending people emails with
infected attachments. This can, of course, be done from anywhere. Another method entails hacking directly into people's wifi networks from close
range.
