From today's Good Morning Silicon Valley. This is for just some here, and you know who you are. The real point, is that should we have expected anything less from Microsoft, than to point the finger of blame at their users. Discuss amongst yourselves... Win 2000 hacking spree all your fault: Microsoft has apparently gotten to the bottom of an outbreak of attacks against machines running its Windows 2000 software. After weeks of investigation, the software giant's research team has concluded that the rash of attacks probably wasn't caused by vulnerabilities in its operating system, but rather by administrators who did not properly secure their servers. "By analyzing computers that have been compromised, Microsoft has determined that these attacks do not appear to exploit any new product-related security vulnerabilities and do not appear to be viral or worm-like in nature," the company said in an advisory. "Instead, the attacks seek to take advantage of situations where standard precautions have not been taken." http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q328691 http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1105-957159.html http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q328691 8:46:39 PM    comment []
