Last nights PBS public affairs series
FRONTLINE had dire
warnings of an impending
CYBERWAR where the battlefield will be the
networks that we have built. How
vulnerable are we? Is this an exaggeration, an alarmists view? Another attempt to sell
security as a
“service”? Or just another forum to bash
Microsoft? Security is the responsibility of ALL of US! I look after MY PC's and I expect YOU too look after yours. Our biggest vulnerability is the thousands of computers running Windows 9x OS's connected to
Broadband ISP's. Its the
Night of the Living Dead out there, thanks to the
greedy irresponsible ISP's who will sell and connect Broadband to any CPU with a hard drive. Zombie attacks are a real possibility, I receive Spam and contaminate attachments from Zombie computers all the time, I trace the DNS and see that they are coming from Broadband accounts. Is the miss-leader in the White House the least bit concerned about this threat? I suspect not, because most of these zombies voted for him!
