Re: Off Topic: Report: Hackers Break Into MSN

[booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

The problem is real but lets face it, the world is going to use the 
Internet whether we like it or not.  The advantages are just too great. It 
is our challenge to figure out how to make it safe.  The world is going to 
make a major shift and we either join the shift or get old and bitter. 
btw, this also tells me that lots and lots of money is going to be paid to 
those few people that embrace the new paradigm and have a headstart on 
making the highway safe from robbers and highwaymen.

The report that I saw suggests the info was traveling by e-mail?  It 
sounds like perhaps we have another fine use of Outlook and Visual Basic 
Scripting?

Sorry this is off topic - just another example of the importance of
SECURITY properly setup (WHY were these servers open to the outside
world !!! ???)...
