Story: Microsoft: 'Harden your environment'

Bull. The problem is with Microsoft and not with the fact that WIndows is out their in great numbers.

Well funded criminal organizations are out there trying to get a hold on your environment one way or another. Why do they focus on Windows?

DNS, SNMP, SMTP, Linux, Apache, Cisco IOS. It's all out there in huge numbers. Much of it directly connected to the Internet. Plenty of it outdated and certainly not configured accoording to the latest security advisories. Open to attack 24/7. Yet... nothing happens.

Why is it that these well funded criminal organizations we're all warned about simply ignore such juicy targets for years on end now?

The only logical answer can be that they've found much easier prey out there. Easier prey that also gives much better results. For years on end.

So now we know why they've concentrated on Microsoft products in the past, the present and in the future. Arrogance kills. Stupidity rules. Ignorance is bless.

Tailor made rootkit anyone? Even your next year anti-whatever solution won't notice that one. Why? Because it evolves faster then what you're being spoon fed.
