John,

Excellent point.

Brought that one up today as a possibility. I wasn't actually aware it
was a truth. 

Good info.

Once a single PC in the company has the exploit... It is coming from
inside.

Hackers are creating trojans / other packages to trigger this..

It is not just a "hide port 135" thing.

John types (as he updates 3000 + workstations)

John,

Basic FW filtering should mitigate this relatively effectively?

Just a heads up...
You all have heard on the RPC exploit that effects Win NT/2000/XP/2003.

We just got a taste of it in our Italy office...and it is BAD!  VERY
BAD.


Win XP / 2000 / 2003

You will notice that the DEFAULT recover setting for the RPC service is
to
(Drum-Roll)
RESTART the server after 1 minute.

Guess what, it does.   
Server restarts every couple of minutes. 

WOW.

Take it from me... PATCH EVERYTHING NOW.   Yes.  Everything.

More Details.
