RE: [cobalt-users] Code Red variations

You should've seen my face when I heard a so-called "security expert" 
announce over national radio that the one million home-users who had 
downloaded the patch had "wasted their time". He went on to say that 
home users did NOT need to apply the patch, as it "only affects 
servers, such as those that host places like Yahoo or Ebay".

Never mind that people DO run NT and W2K on their home boxes, and 
that RoadRunner and @Home have generated the most offending IPs in 
this entire mess. (At least, the last time I checked, which was just 
before he made this stupid announcement.)

Some expert...
