Microsoft.com Hacked and Defaced | |

Microsoft Press has been defaced this evening by a group named "Outlaw Group". Although the group doesn't seem to have caused much damage, this is clearly an embarassment for Microsoft.com webmasters. A clear example of where patches need to be applied. | ||

"Maybe microsoft should switch from that unreliable hack-friendly windows 2003 server, and go for something more robust and safe, like maybe ...linux, or FreeBSD."
msucks such uninformed statement as the one above is what gives bullets to those anti linux zealots like parkker and sodablue to use against the rest of us who can find use in either OS. If I can't stand them for being religiously on their side of the fence, i can't stand YOU for giving them valid reasons to attack "open source zealots". quick stats for today thanks to zone-h: 38 single IP 20 mass defacements Linux (58.6%) FreeBSD (15.5%) Win 2000 (13.8%) Unknown (6.9%) Win 2003 (1.7%) Win NT9x (1.7%) MacOSX (1.7%) http://www.zone-h.org/en/index Any OS is only as secure and reliable as the person administering it. Just because people say Linux is built from the ground up with security and reliability in mind doesn't mean its safer from being hacked. Based on my own experience I would argue that it is easier for a competent admin to secure a Linux or BSD box than it is to secure a Windows box. I'd also say that Linux or BSD are probably built more secure from the ground up. But saying microsoft should switch to those OS's in order to avoid being defaced is just idiotic! |

| At last! An intelligent comment, thanks tgnb! :) msucks is obviously talking rubbish but at least tgnb comes up with a proper well-balanced argument which makes it look good for both Linux AND Windows. |
