-----Original Message----- From: Chris [mailto:brahma () mendolink com] Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 8:40 PM To: incidents () securityfocus com Subject: Dial-Up Percentage Abuse Sorry if this is a bit off topic but I really didn't know any other lists closer to my question. I was wondering if anyone would know where I could obtain factual information regarding Dial-Up account abuse in conjunction with weak passwords. A study or information gathered by a credible source. As in someone brute forcing/guessing/conning a password for a dial-up account and using that account to launch attacks on systems and do generally malicious things. I am trying to show the importance of forcing customers to select secure passwords (8 char+ w/ numbers, letters and other printable char) to my staff. Any suggestions would be great.
