An easy-to-use toolkit used to hack computers has now been updated to take advantage of an unpatched security vulnerability in Microsoft's software, which could mean attacks will intensify, according to vendor Symantec.

The Neosploit toolkit is one of several on the internet that can be used by less-technical hackers to compromise machines. Symantec said it has detected on its network of internet sensors that Neosploit can take advantage of a vulnerability revealed early last week in Microsoft's Access database program.
