RE: Revenue loss due to breakins

["Thomas Frerichs" <tfrerich () shiboleth net>]

The second link below points to a news article containing a quote that said:

'"We are solely dependent on Qwest DSL for our Internet connection, and if
it goes down, we don't have a business," said Doug Colbeck, president of the
outdoor recreation site Trails.com...'"

What's funny is that one of the IP addresses sending the Code Red II worm to
my Apache server was the Trails.com site. Their server itself was infected
with Code Red II. And they want to complain about Qwest? I guess we have to
find someone to blame...

There were some stories cited on whitehats (http://www.whitehats.com) on
some mom and pop businesses that lost their network because qwest
blocked port 80.
