The headline of the story ‘Net security bug prompts warnings’ implies that the Internet itself has a security bug. The Internet is a communications network, and therefore can’t really have a ‘bug’, but that’s a minor quibble.
The main problem with this story is that it suggests that anyone who connects to the Internet is vulnerable to this ‘bug’. The story is actually about this month’s batch of security vulnerability announcements from Microsoft.
Microsoft is a marketing and software development company. It is not a communications network. The headline would be only be legitimate if it was plausible to consider Microsoft software and the Internet as being one and the same. Of course it is not.
Apologies for the transport analogy, but if Trabant cars were found to be at risk of spontaneous combustion at 80mph, would the headline read ‘Motorway fire risk warning’, or ‘Trabant fire risk warning’?
