The Sasser author has done nothing to foster security. So there is really no need for the security scene to support him.there is one other thing... he is correct when he says that Microsoft will say it's completely the worm writer's fault. BUT i think Microsoft should be punished too for having so many security holes. they had to patch it faster.
Umm, I'm confused. Fairly new to the security scene, but, didn't the worm come out AFTER the patch? I guess Microsoft could have patched it sooner so that the worm could have come out sooner. The biggest question I have is why all the hostility at Microsoft for patching their system? There are plenty of holes still in the system that warrant your wrath. When I see a worm that comes out before Microsoft patches, I'll be all over Microsoft just as the rest of you "Microsoft can do no right" doomsayers. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
