I won't bash their products any longer... Just the irresponsible system admins that don't patch...
I happen to use Microsoft products... sometimes for good reasons... sometimes for historical mind washing.. other times because the market dictates it... Sorry if you were vicimized today by the worm... Everyone should get familiarized with MicroSoft's Basline Security Analyzer.. a nice attempt to bring things together and make determining what is outdated/insecure in a more civilized manner... No matter what, putting your SQL server up there via IP for the world to smack is just irresponsible.... There are all the OS issues plus the SQL plus things like DOS attacks that could put your data away... not to mention making a nice candy store for a successful hack attempt... -paris Paris Lundis Founder Areaindex, L.L.C. http://www.areaindex.com http://www.pubcrawler.com 412-292-3135 [finding the future in the past, passing the future in the present] [connecting people, places and things] -----Original Message----- From: <"Tangorre>,Michael" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 26 Jan 2003 01:14:36 -0500 Subject: RE: SQL Worm > exactly.
