You appear to have missed the source of the attacks: "......a botnet network of compromised Linux boxes."

I just love some of the comments here on this. Funny that when a Windoze box is left configured with its knickers down and gets screwed it's M$s fault, but when a Linux box is left configured with its knickers down and gets screwed it's the admin's fault.

How Bill must wish his sheep could get away with that excuse.

Flames, because I'm expecting them.
