So, this is awesome
« on: June 16, 2009, 04:12:18 pm »
Apparently, someone hit my company's servers to help spread this virus:

One of our employees got compromised, her username and passwords for several internal and a couple external (client-owned) servers were stolen, and a number of FTP servers that she uses were broken into as well.

Ironically, she's a Mac user. :)
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Our species really annoys me.

Aye, it's awesome watching Mac users squirm.

So, your company helped spread a virus to its own customers, and you call it awesome? Remind me not to deal with you guys. :P
