Are VM Environments Open to Attack?

{QUOTE-> Virtualization can bring about lower costs and fewer servers to maintain. Can it also open security holes? One should clearly never do anything with a virtual machine they wouldn't do with a physical machine. The nature of VMs, however, may bring about unique security concerns. <-QUOTE}Article (http://www.technewsworld.com/story/63888.html)

Anything is open to attack and holes can be plugged, also just because you have a virtual environment doesn't mean you can dispense and forgo with security - a virtual machine say a server should be treated just as a real machine.
