Microsoft software "riddled with vulnerabilities", trade body claims | |
|

| Time: 00:02 EST/05:02 GMT | News Source: the inquirer | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||

THE US Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA) has urged the US Department of Homeland Security to avoid using Microsoft software.
The Washington based association, which represents members that generate over $300 billion, has issued an open letter to Tom Ridge, Secretary of the department, urging him to review his decision to choose Microsoft for its desktops and servers.
It claims that last week's events relating to the Blaster and SoBig worms, have highlighted problems in cybersecurity.
The letter, from Ed Black, the association's president, said:"We believe that for software to be truly secure it must be well written from the outset with security considerations given a high priority". | ||

shhh!!! You'll screw up their security-through-obscurity campaign -- Codename: Pot & Kettle.
I don't think you want their strategic litigation team after you. They don't have to place you at a crime to get you. They'll just suppose you were there. :-) This post was edited by n4cer on Friday, August 29, 2003 at 03:51. |
