marcelo, michael, rodger,
after reading in a previous post that 'infrastructure' hit news announcements
on, of all places, zdnet,
Those vague announcements deserved such publicity. I would have been
surprised if the press had not covered those "issues".
Yes I would have to agree, its actually in the best interests of
everyone that they do get covered. I don't like being kept in the dark
anymore than the rest but I don't think its unreasonable to do what can
be done i.e. use the tools available to make a determination if your
compromised or not and then wait and see what the Infrastructure Team
has to say when all is said and done. At this point it seems they will
have no choice but to release some statement or another, whether or not
it satisfies people is going to be another matter entirely. The last
thing I want is for them to be rushed to a wrong conclusion because
everyone is impatient for any answer, I'd prefer the right(by which I
mean honest and truthful) answer that has been arrived at after all
investigations have been carried to conclusion. Speculation will get us
nowhere. What works on that other OS would have a hard time succeeding
on a properly administered Linux box but that just means using
unconventional methods to do it instead. A task that would be both more
difficult and more rewarding for the attacker not to mention harder to
detect and of course harder to investigate for the victim.
