If someone cannot securely configure IIS with its GUI interface, how do you expect them to secure a daemon that uses .conf files? Bad administration is bad administration. I contact at least 5 companies a week on behalf of my clients about infected or hacked systems that are launching attacks on clients. Most of the time I get "I didn't know that box had IIS on it" or even worse "yes that's my IP, but I have no idea where or what it is"
A system is only as secure as the sysadmin is competent and dedicated. And sometimes they still get hacked. Patrick S.
