Security suit against Microsoft could turn huge
Posted October 2, 5:55 p.m. Pacific Time

A 50-year-old Los Angeles mother of two who fell victim to hackers has 
sued Microsoft Corp. seeking damages and an order requiring the vendor 
to improve its security notification system.

The suit, filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, claims that 
Microsoft's "eclipsing dominance in desktop software has created a 
global security risk" as the world's computer networks are now 
susceptible to "massive, cascading failures." The vendor is charged 
with violating California laws because of unfair and deceptive business 
practices.
