SEATTLE (Reuters) - Users flocked to Microsoft Corp.'s Web site on Friday after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security warned that hackers were planning to attack computers by exploiting a previously announced flaw in Windows operating systems.
The flaw, revealed by Microsoft two weeks ago, works by exploiting a tool that allows one computer to run programs on another computer over the Internet or over corporate networks.
The Department of Homeland Security, created in response to the 2001 hijacking attacks, issued two warnings this week saying that "several working exploits are now in widespread distribution on the Internet."
