I read the entire e-mail from SANS (I managed to get 9 copies sent to
me), and what I find most interesting about it is the sheer laziness and
apathy with which many people still approach security. Several of the
vulnerabilities that were being exploited are over 2 years old, and
while Microsoft may be to blame for the original bad software, they have
certainly issued patches to fix these problems. Maybe it's just me, but
if you don't keep up with security, then it's only a matter of time
before you get cracked. Now, I understand that there are several excuses
as to why one may not keep up: overworked, not enough people, not enough
time, management doesn't care, management doesn't want security because
it's inconvenient, etc. However, being 2 years behind in security
patches is inexcusable.
