A case of stolen passwords done through windoze  InAction Man | 05/09/09
2006 passwords used to steal PII in 2009?  Earthling2 | 05/09/09
windoze turned hackers into system admins in 2006 and before.  InAction Man | 05/09/09

YES  AccesPublic | 05/10/09
"in 2006 a virus spread to the air traffic control" - BEFORE Linux!  InAction Man | 05/09/09

Excellent response  LiquidLearner | 05/09/09
If you read the report and you're honest you'll change your opinion.  InAction Man | 05/09/09

@InAction Man  Earthling2 | 05/10/09
@FartLing: Are those your arguments?  InAction Man | 05/10/09
@InAction Man  Earthling2 | 05/10/09
You'll have to turn away from the mirror to see it  InAction Man | 05/10/09
Please read before posting.  InAction Man | 05/09/09
Passwords should be changed periodically or not used at all  Earthling2 | 05/09/09
But they became system administrators!!!! Too late for that.  InAction Man | 05/09/09
Can't audit your admins?  Earthling2 | 05/09/09
Probably the true admins were unsuspecting and those hackers used some  InAction Man | 05/09/09
I have  Earthling2 | 05/09/09
Why break a door when there so many windows wide open, ready for exploit  InAction Man | 05/10/09

Maybe  Techref6060 | 05/11/09
That's what the FAA get from believing the lies of *nix geeks...  transposeIT | 05/10/09
