A Bad Week for Symantec

Evan Hughes writes "NeoSmart Technologies has published a scathing editorial regarding 3 high-profile mistakes by Symantec Corp. — all in less than a week. In what seems to be a string of stupid mistakes culminating in the infection of CNN-parent Turner Broadcasting Systems by Rinbot— a virus dedicated to the eradication of Symantec from the known world."

    Hi there,

    Let's go viral then :-)

    help me out with a little karma here? Copy my post and it repost it & link back to the original?
    If they shoot that down down go and recruit new people to put it up again?

    Regards
    G

    Google something like "Apache vs IIS", or "email exploits in Linux" or "open ports in OS X" or "botnets" or "Nimba" or "Code Red".
    Use what little brains you have.
