Microsoft claims Nimda didn't make its FrontPage | |
|

| Time: 08:04 EST/13:04 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

Microsoft refuted claims Wednesday that the main Web site for its FrontPage software had been infected by the Nimda virus, despite the antivirus software alarms set off by viewing the site. On Wednesday, several security experts believed that the software giant--which has often put the responsibility on customers to patch software holes--had apparently failed to patch at least one major server. However, Christopher Budd, security program manager for Microsoft's security response center, said that wasn't the case. "No one is being infected," he said. "There is no code to infect people." | ||

#6, You obviously don't realize how much of a massive operation it is to apply a patch too all your servers/workstations in a company, especially one of this size.
Maybe you ought to use a little common sense before bashing? Oh wait, that's probably asking too much, very few people use that, or even know what it is. |

As I understand it, this frontpage thing was not Microsoft's doing at all.
Some third party who does some content work for Microsoft was infected, and uploaded a HTML file to the site. The HTML file was infected with Nimda, which is simple... a single line at the end of the document that says "Go download readme.exe as a wav file". Well that file didn't exist, so nothing happened because of it. |

| #8, Are you honestly saying that everyone should be perfect? I guaretnee you, just about any time you are patching servers, you will always miss at least one server, or one patch, or something like that. |
