Hiya Gang,
You know, remember last summer when I was warning everyone about
MS using TCPA, Pallaiums et. al to "rescue" the Internet...and that by their
allowing millions of susceptible servers to be online, MS was setting the
stage for the "patch" to solve the problem. Naturally, to implemement this
patch we will have to abandon TCP/IP and only utilize TCP/MS and Palladium.
This RDDoS attack would never be successful if...big if...MS did not allow
the setup routine for Windows 98SE and newer to install all those "sharing"
services BY DEFAULT...and with "root" access! The first step of the total
takeover of the Internet is complete. MS is now offering a free "patch"...but,
it will only work for users of Win98SE, WinMe, WiNT4 w/SP3, Win2K, and WinXP.
Other MS operating systems will not be supported, including Win95. My question
is Why is this patch even necessary? Why did the public allow MS to setup
these insecure machines?
Be watchful, and vigilant. Above all else, JUST SAY NO! No more MS only
web sites, services, or systems!
C U L8R!
