"Summary: Symantec, the anti-virus maker, has confirmed that a hacking group has stolen a segment of its flagship product. The group said it would make the source code available.
Symantec has confirmed that a segment of its flagship Norton anti-virus products source code was leaked onto the web this week.
The firm said that the code relates to two older enterprise products, one of which is no longer in production. But it said the breach was on a third-party network rather than its own, and will not affect any current Norton product."
We should see some fairly self serving malware coming out soon.
