waaa! scarry.
Sorry about spamming your friends list, I'll put all of this under a cut.
InforCon has gone Yellow!
I was checking out /. and noticed a lead article about "Internet Security Warnings"
From ISC/SANS:
We remain at infocon of yellow, but fortunately, we haven't yet seen any worms exploiting the vulnerabilities covered by last Tuesday's Microsoft bulletins. If things stay quiet through Sunday, we'll likely move back to green on Monday, but we reiterate our warning from yesterday, there are enough exploits for these vulnerabilities known to be in the wild that we believe it is only a matter of hours or at most days until they are integrated into a worm.
Link to this entry in the SANS diary.
Link to the "warning from yesterday" mentioned in the above quote.
You can see the InfoCon in my profile (above the color bars) or at the Internet Storm Center/SANS site.
Also of reference, the System Administration, Networking, and Security Institute (SANS).
I guess that annoying automatic "microsoft" (not just windows) update is kind of not so annoying today...
But, god, I need to switch to a different operating system.
Gaim users: don't forget to update to 1.5.0!
