RE: DB2UDB hack

From: Walden H. Leverich

MS has learned their lesson, IBM shouldn't make the same mistake.

HAAAAAAA!

From the company that pretty much turned one of the laziest programming
techniques into an entire industry. You can't even have a buffer overrun
unless you write horrible code, and instead Microsoft has it throughout
their systems.

Anyway, I'm not going to go down this road. I certainly won't argue against
having better safeguards in shipped systems. But at the same time, I think
the people that turn on unfettered FTP access are going to do it anyway, and
I stand by my position that you should either know the security of your IT
infrastructure inside out or you should hire someone to do it for you.
Anything less is suicide.
