It's fairly easy to test this, just run Google searches on various porn terms or sleazy marketing terms (free casino, free ringtones, etc.) with site:.edu or site:.gov as operators. It's clear it's far, far more of a problem in the .edu space than at least .gov, largely because of the reasons everyone knows (unpatched open source, etc.). -----Original Message----- From: Sean Donelan [mailto:sean () donelan com] Sent: Monday, August 13, 2007 11:04 AM To: Jordan Wiens Cc: Alex Eckelberry; funsec () linuxbox org Subject: Re: [funsec] on the university problem On Sun, 12 Aug 2007, Jordan Wiens wrote:

are or aren't more of a problem, maybe we can stop making up guesses one way or the other.
Universities are probably not any more OR less of a problem than any other organization with connections to the Internet. Fortune 1000, government, non-profits, for-profits, domestic, international, etc. You name it and they probably have had, have or will have a problem. Even "Internet security consultants" have had bugs, lost laptops, compromised computers, fraud and theft happen. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
