lol yeah and I guess we would all need to move to a better platform or a different job :) -----Original Message----- From: full-disclosure-admin () lists netsys com [mailto:full-disclosure-admin () lists netsys com] On Behalf Of Joey Sent: Tuesday, 12 August 2003 9:36 p.m. To: Darren Reed; Andrew J Homan Cc: full-disclosure () lists netsys com Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] aside: worm vs. worm? imagine if the bug wiped out the infected computers' harddrives. microsoft would be put out of business. --- Darren Reed <avalon () caligula anu edu au> wrote:
But it's Microsoft's own web site that is being targeted and it is through their own bug that it is being made possible. As much as they would like to point the finger at others for making the code available to do it, if their software didn't have the bug, it would not be possible it all. Hrm, I don't really want to start _THAT_ discussion again, but I don't think you will find much, if any, sympathy for Microsoft being targetted by this worm. They're a large, rich, monopoly of a company. Do they really deserve any nice sympathy at all ? I suspect I'm not alone in these feelings. Darren
