I think the original OP just didn't know how to spell some words correctly. I believe he actually meant to refer to a "krypto virus" which is one that affects the Superman factor meaning that those of us who are supposed to know it all and do it all, 24 hours a day without rest or even a shit, would start to finally lose that veneer of invulnerability!

Thanks!

Hi, I just can admit to what Billy wrote. The Firewall of my PDA is getting hot. It plays "Yellow Submarine" everytime I press the escape-key. It has to be something like this crypto-thing. I don't know what "crypto" means but it seems to be encrypted with EnglishLanguageProtocol. Believe me, I have been the administrator of my PDA since I was three years old. JakobWhatever ssl is, I don't know but it's using the so-called "ssl" port on the web servers.But this port 443 is not SSH! Why should it be encrypted? And what is this "ssl" thing? I've been in IT for many years and I am now IT Director here at the bank... I would think that I would know what "ssl" would be. I don't think this worm has anything to do with whatever "ssl" is. Does anybody even still use ssl? That's probably why the hackers chose it.Sorry to say but it is not! I checked my incoming traffic again thismorningand the attack on port 443 is still coming in full steam ahead! Idon't knowwhat's going on, but I am about to block that port on my firewall.Somenitwit (probably the idiot that was here before I became IT Director) somehow, for some reason, deliberately opened port 443 on thefirewalls!I am beginning to think that this is the first wave of the new comingglobalcrypto-storm!_______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
