If you use pcAnywhere, you should disable it NOW

On Tuesday night, Symantec put up a red flag saying that anyone who’s using pcAnywhere should not only stop using it, they should turn it off.

Seems that one of the Anonymous folks stole a copy of the 2006 version of pcAnywhere, and they are probably looking for security holes right now.

From the Ars Technica article:

“Although Symantec says the theft actually occurred in 2006, the issue did not come to light until this month when hackers related to Anonymous said they had the source code and would release it publicly. Users of the Norton products in question are not at any increased risk of attack because of the age of the source code and security improvements made in the years since the breach, but the vendor acknowledged on Tuesday night that “Customers of Symantec’s pcAnywhere have increased risk as a result of this incident.”
