The malicious code is hosted on a website that mainly hosts pornography, which Sites was unwilling to name. Users of Windows XP who have not installed SP2 are particularly vulnerable as the code will be automatically downloaded without the user’s knowledge.

Continental’s free service poses an “unacceptable potential risk” to communications gear used by the state police and the Transportation Security Administration, the letters claim.
