WindowsUpdate.com Secured, Permanently

Posted by jamie on Friday August 15, 2003 @06:22AM from the and-fix-your-software dept.

Precisely nineteen months ago, Bill Gates sent out a memo to employees (and the press) announcing that security was Microsoft's number-one priority. Today, about a hundred readers have submitted the news that Microsoft.com went down last night. And now, the company has "extinguished" WindowsUpdate.com (future updates will come from a different domain). All this because of some Microsoft worm that triggers at midnight. Related news: Windows Update says you're protected, but maybe you're not; WU.com briefly ran Linux, heh; worm variant with clever "anatomical term."

A classic troll response, if I've ever heard one! Ha!

Just kidding.
