You are SOooo right, denial of responsibility is what happens!
I am aware of instances recently where windows machines are obviously
hacked and email addresses appropriated. It's no use telling the people
they deny it.
Not always the case, but if they're not even told about it they can't fix it.
(Not too ) many years ago on of my boxes was cracked and used like this. Once
I knew I took it down and rebuilt the server from scratch.
Rule #1 - if your box is cracked - wipe it
And just how would someone "know" if they've been cracked?....are there
alerts?...or is it really a matter of waiting for someone to contact you
telling you that they've gotten your IP address when doing a backtrace
from their network? (And I'm only asking because I've had a machine
that's been "up and running" for almost a year, but I wouldn't have a
CLUE as to know whether or not it's been compromised or not!...)
