Microsoft hatte nicht alle eigenen Rechner auf den letzten Stand gebracht
Und selbst im Microsoft-Netzwerk waren eine Reihe von Rechnern nicht gepatcht und verursachten so zeitweilig einen Zusammenbruch ausgerechnet der Infrastruktur, auf die Kunden angewiesen waren, um ihre Systeme gegen weitere Attacken abzusichern.
Rick Devenuti, Microsofts Chief Information Officer, gab jetzt auch zu, dass sein Konzern immer noch nicht wisse, wie der Wurm ins Netzwerk gelangt sei. Es sei aber schwer, "immer 100-prozentig gepatcht" zu sein.

SQL Slammer: Auch MS SQL Server 7.0 gefährdet.
Die von dem am Wochenende aufgetauchten Wurm SQL Slammer genutzte Sicherheitslücke im Microsoft SQL Server 2000 existiert prinzipiell auch in anderen Microsoft-Datenbanken, so der Hersteller. Demnach sollten auch Nutzer des SQL Server 7.0, der Microsoft Data Engine (MSDE) 1.0 und der Microsoft Desktop Engine (MSDE) 2000 ihre Systeme mit dem entsprechenden Patch absichern.
NAI bietet zur Erkennung und Bereinigung von infizierten Rechnern zudem eine aktualisierte Version des Stand-Alone Remover Utility "Stinger" an. Sie steht unter kostenlos zum Download zur Verfügung.

Kazaa fires back at Hollywood, labels
Sharman Networks, owner of the popular Kazaa file-swapping software, has launched a legal counterstrike against the major record labels and Hollywood studios, asserting they have “obscenely” abused their copyright powers.
In a lawsuit filed late Monday in federal court in Los Angeles, Sharman claims that major entertainment companies have colluded to drive potential online rivals out of business. The conduct should preclude the industry from being able to defend its copyrights in court, at least until the behavior is corrected, Sharman contends.

Is this 18th-century smiley the earliest one found to date?
In the back of tome second (book two) of Stanislas de Boufflers' Œuvres (Paris: Chez Pironnet, 1805 - possibly a reprint of the original 1786 edition) one finds a short collection of poetry written by the author's extended family, most of which are in a humourous vein. These may have been collected from salon recitations and private correspondence. One of these poetic send-ups is the "Chanson de l'abbé Porquet". Abbé Pierre-Charles-François Porquet (b. Jan. 12 1723 - d. Nov. 22 1796) was Boufflers' tutor and companion from c. 1749 to 1766 (?). Porquet wrote this piece for one of Boufflers' birthdays ("Célébrons l'heureuse naissance / De notre aimable chevalier").

Poison warfare suits found in mosque raid
BRITISH police investigating a terror plot by Islamic saboteurs have found chemical warfare protection suits in a north London mosque. The discovery has shocked detectives, who believe the find confirms supporters of Osama bin Laden were planning a poison attack on civilian targets in Britain. Scotland Yard and MI5 detectives had kept the discovery of the nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) suits secret.
They feared disclosing it would spark panic.
Government ministers have warned any suggestion that the Finsbury Park mosque had been involved would have worrying racist overtones.
