The Office of Technology Services (OTS) is advising users of Symantec?s pcAnywhere to disable the service. Security vendor Symantec has advised users of its pcAnywhere remote control software to disable it because hackers with access to the product’s source code could exploit security holes identified in the application. pcAnywhere lets users remotely access and control other computers, such as an office PC from a notebook while on the road or at home.
Symantec’s recommendation was blunt. ?At this time, Symantec recommends disabling the product until we release a final set of software updates that resolve currently known vulnerability risks,” the company said in a statement Wednesday.
