Question: Why is it that every company out there allows connections through their firewalls to their web and mail infrastructure from countries that they don't even do business in. Shouldn't it be our default to only allow US based IP addresses and then allow others as needed? The only case I can think of would be traveling folks that need to VPN or something, which could be permitted in the Firewall, but WHY WIDE OPEN ACCESS? We still seem to be in the wild west, but no-one has the b@lls to be braven and block the unnecessary access. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The Shadow www.Geek-Guy.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
From: ceo () rich-company co es To: shadow () geek-guy com Subject: employment Dear Mr. Shadow, Your previous employer, Mr. Lamont Cranston, has recommended you for consulting work with our US office. This would allow you to work 20 hrs/week from home. Our need is such that we would be willing to offer you up to 150.000 euros/yr (~$197,970.12) as a non-exclusive retainer for these services. Please respond at your earliest convenience. We were particularly impressed by what we saw on your Web site. Oops, but you missed that because you only allowed provincial mail in. And didn't let them see your Web site. -- Joe Yao ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is not an official statement of OSIS Center policies.
