Hi everyone! I was just following the thread and your loud screams concerning opening a client entirely to the Internet. As a security "Junior" (in terms of knowledge <g>), I dare to ask a simple question:
What exactly and with what possibilities in terms of definitely, likely, unlikely can happen to a Win2K machine out of the box (all service packs, all security updates), which is left unattended permanently connected to the Internet. Nowadays everyone is talking about Internet Security, all the unbelievable great dangers out there, the hackers, the crackers, the script kiddies, but I have never found a source that lists the actual possibilities that can happen as well as the likelihood of such things. Maybe you girls and guys could finally cast some light in these mysteries (mysteries in my head at least..) Thanks a lot and have a nice weekend (go home early today) Marc --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe to the digest version first unsubscribe, then e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive of the last 1000 messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
