New York, Jan.27 (ANI): Security firm Symantec is advising customers to disable one of its products, after hackers revealed the theft of the underlying code powering the software earlier this month.
The security firm said the theft occurred in 2006, compromising 2006-era version of Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition, Norton Internet Security and Norton SystemWorks.
According to Fox News, there is more concern about the theft of the code behind the remote access package pcAnywhere, which could allow malicious users to gain complete access to systems and data.
"Symantec recommends disabling the product until Symantec releases a final set of software updates that resolve currently known vulnerability risks," the company wrote in an online statement about the hacking.
The new advice is a marked change from earlier comments from the company, which at first downplayed the significance of the hacking.
The company's new advice suggests the security breach may have been more significant than Symantec had believed at first. (ANI)
