Hi there,
I was infected by MSBlast the other day and hit again while repairing
it yet I was running Internet Connection Firewall (default config
including logging and no services enabled)
As Microsoft points out in MS03-026, "If you are using the Internet
Connection Firewall in Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 to protect your
Internet connection, it will by default block inbound RPC traffic from
the Internet."
Okay I should have patched anyway but the firewall should have
protected me. I checked the settings while I was patching and was hit
again...
Logs show nothing at all.
How was I infected?
Regards,
Joe Mulhall

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you know,
in most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest constraint to scaling
up?! Get this free white paper to understand the real constraints & how to
overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather than buying more servers.
