as a former Merrill Lynch employee, and as someone chest deep in Cisco these days, I found this article of interest. It certainly brings up something that has always nagged me from the back of my brain, to whit, the inherent vulnerability of IP in general, and thus the wisdom of putting everything in the world on interconnected IP networks.
http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2003/0725merrill.html I found the following of particular interest: "The spokesman says that a "doubling of attacks" on the firm's IP network over the last 18 months prompted rethinking of the firm's IP convergence strategy. He did not elaborate about the attacks. "The main thing to get across is that this was not a vendor-preference decision at all," the spokesman says. "This is basically risk-assessment-driven." Any thoughts? Worth discussing?
