Re: Is IIS worth the risk?

[MacWheel99@xxxxxxx]

The Juiciest target in North America is probably Fort Knox
All that Gold !

But it has never been hit by any bank robbers because it is well secured.
A juicy target does not justify raids or being open to raids, or selling
systems to customers that are wide open to raids.

The manufacturers of bank vaults do not provide them with back doors to bank
robbers.
