The Eee PC sub-notebook from Asus is wildly popular, but according to RISE, a security firm based in Brazil, the ultra portable is also remarkably easy to compromise.
The Eee PC ships with a version of Xandros Linux installed, making the laptop one of the most popular Linux devices to date. But regrettably it turns out that the version of Xandros used in the Eee PC includes an out-of-date version of Samba, which leaves the machine open to attack.
