Ok .... like everyone is saying ... if they "detected it" hours before hand ... why was no Network Admin advised ... no data posted on there sarc page ... until much later in the day / week??? Just some simple food for thought...
Because you don;t pay for their services <smile> contracts, contracts and money. It's the way things are going. Now the question is, how many of the different 'providers' of security 'info' and even some of the application folks <ISC, etc> are shaking hands and trading information such that the "paying" clients of a number of these companies are advised of issues in advance, as is claimed in this thread. thuse removing the nesscesity of a compay to contract with symantic, CERT, ISS, ISC, etc... to fully be kept as informed as possible.
