BOGUS MICROSOFT SECURITY PATCH

Earlier today, Microsoft sent an e-mail message that
notified users about a Windows security patch. A few
minutes ago, we received what appeared to be the same
message but it included the security patch as an
attachment. Clearly, this is a bogus message that did
not come from Microsoft. We know that you won't be
fooled but your users may be.


FEEDBACK

Robert L. Brown and Russ Washington have written in to
say that the Internet Software Consortium have patched
BIND9 to eliminate the problems caused by the Verisign
wildcard issue.

To paraphrase Arlo Guthrie,

"And can you, can you imagine 30 billion a year, I said
30 billion XP crashes a year sending their reports to
Redmond and rebooting"
