Hey, Bill.
] wht is the mean-time-to-infection for a stock windows XP system
] when plugged intot he net?... 2-5minutes? you can't get patches
] down that fast.
The same case can be made for Linux and Unix-based web servers with
vulnerable PHP-based tools. There's also a large number of poorly
configured devices such as routers with easily guessed passwords,
overly permissive DNS name servers, etc.
It's not simply a Windows problem.
Thanks,
Rob.
