Message-ID: <20040513153134.53804.qmail@web41605.mail.yahoo.com> From: keydet89 at yahoo.com (Harlan Carvey) Subject: Sasser author Come on, Larry...

Perhaps after all these years of publishing "best practices", maybe the victims would stop...well...being victimized. --- Larry Seltzer <larry@...ryseltzer.com> wrote: > >>Sasser violates poorly designed/implemented > network infrastructures. > > I think we'd better be careful with all this moral > equivocating.
