Hacker has stolen source code for the new 2012 Norton AV..
Taken off Indian Govt Servers? Still reading on this, but
there are some wierd tidbits popping up about this..
Indian Govt? Hmmm, quite interesting.. How would this
effect the security? Wouldn't it make the program worthless?

Oopsee! Me thinks somebody is in trouble..

Thanks
Was pokin around, reading some more..
Just a hackers wet dream.. But what was Norton

But not much makes any sense anymore..

Relax, dude.  Don't sweat the small stuff.  Norton antivirus on Indian Government servers makes perfect sense; governments around the world use the private sector to subcontract out things such as meals, heating/cooling, and cybersecurity.

 If you use norton and think your secure,you're saddly mistaken.

The Indian government doesn't use Norton's consumer antivirus software, Norton hires a security team devoted solely to protecting them.

Norton is a hacker's dream.

Norton is more like a virus.

Yes but I'm not entirely sure why the Indian govt would require the source code unless they were making heavily modified versions of Nortons. On top of that source code for such security products is usually kept in strictly isolated datacenters with ZERO internet connection.
