20 January 2012, 17:02 McAfee customers used to spread spam McAfee is warning of a vulnerability in its Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) for Total Protection product which can be exploited to make affected machines relay spam. In a post on its blog, the company says that the problem in its hosted anti-malware service has now been fixed, noting that affected systems were updated on Thursday 19 January. The vulnerability allowed attackers to use Total Protection users' computers as open email relays and to use this capability to send out spam messages. However, it did not apparently allow access to any customer data. The problem was discovered as a result of complaints from customers who found that their emails were being blocked and their IP addresses were being added to anti-spam blacklists.
