MSN Explorer Website Hacked | |

Thanks Paul and Michael. It seems that the International page of the MSN Explorer website has been hacked. The page says " Welcome to http://www.worm.com, Hacked by Chinese". The page is still up at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. Check it out! For a bit more background...this is the Code Red Worm which was discovered last month. Microsoft did put out a security bulletin for this issue here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-033.asp Both MSN Explorer & MSN SupportServices were attacked, and both sites are down as Microsoft removes the offending code, and patches the servers. In addition to the defacing that the worm does, it is also rumored to launch a Distributed Denial of Service attack. | ||

Microsoft has a program called the "Hotfix Checker Tool". You can download, run it and it will tell you which patches are available that you haven't yet applied. Run it, get the patches, apply patches, no virus. Strangely enough, I followed MS' recommended security guidelines for installing IIS on Win2K, applied all the patches and was unaffected by several attempts to crack my box by this WORM. |

Thanks, RA |

| #12 Nothing is "bulletproof" thats just the nature of software. Sh*t happens, deal with it. |
