Re: Patch all those windows boxes

Sadly our border firewalls are too primitive to do much deep filtering, plus we have a global block-inbound rule anyway which helps against many server-side vulnerabilities.

Regardless I just look after the research servers and nobody really cares if they break. We've yet to suffer any detectable compromise, almost miraculous considering I caught somebody running phpMyAdmin on a public server yesterday with the username and password set to 'root' and 'root'. I may need to dig out the good ol' LART.

But seriously, human error (aka PEBKAC) is generally a bigger problem than many of these mentioned vulnerabilities for organizations that don't really have any commercially sensitive information.
