Hacker YamaTough has published Symantec’s pcAnywhere’s source code. This program is used by users and companies to access personal computers remotely. The publication follows a $US50,000 extortion attempt that was made public last night.
According to email transcripts posted to Pastebin yesterday, and confirmed by the company, a group of hackers attempted to extort $US50,000 from Symantec in exchange for not releasing its stolen PCAnywhere and Norton Antivirus source code.
