Who Has Been Bitten By The Blaster Worm http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/internet/08/13/internet.blaster.reut/index.html I'm just wondering how many here got bitten by the MS Blaster worm. If you haven't patched for it yet, you may get bitten by it while running Windows Update itself, as one of my employees did on their home PC. :roll: You can find out specifics about this vulnerability at Microsoft's security site which includes links to the downloads. Many don't bother reading the news either that has been warning them of this. I had someone tell me today they didn't open email on their home PC. :idontthinkso: Note that if you haven't patched for it yet and you are planning on waiting until this weekend, don't bother. It is estimated over 140,000 machines are infected and that number will climb in the next few days. On Saturday, they are scheduled to bring MS's Windows Update site to its knees with a DDOS attack, so you won't be able to download it then. __________________ text sig
