It would be funny if it weren't so serious -- Symantec is urging customers to disable its pcAnywhere remote control software because it lost the source code to hackers back in 2006 and never made attempts to change the code to protect users. The ensuing joke would go something like, "Where is Symantec's software not secure? Anywhere!" Granted, it's not a very good joke, so maybe someone will come up with a better one that attempts to mask the gravity of the situation.
