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

http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/305676/thousands_web_sites_stung_by_mass_hacking_attack?fp=4&fpid=16

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!

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
