RE: How Secure is Windows, Really?

....just displayed the screen. A very simple "virus"/malicious CL pgm, but 
because of circumstances the client was down for about 6 hours, from what I was 
told by their manager. Daft thing was they had left the source on the box so 
any malicious little weasel could re-activate it at any time. As for iSeries 
programmers being morally unable to write viruses because they "aren't built 
that way" as someone roughly said, I don't think that really holds water. Just 
my thoughts. ...Steve Raby

==> One business owner told me once that he had partnered with the programmer 
on the S/36 they had, and they had a falling out. The programmer went to work 
remote  and warned him that if he cut him off, the system would self-destruct.

i5 programmers may be statistically a "safer" lot than others :) but they are 
no more immune to human foibles and moral weaknesses than Unix programmers, C 
programmers, CEO's, truck drivers, politicians, tax collectors, or scientists, 
or anybody else.
