On Virus reinfects school district Web site

Call1: Are you joking? I completely agree with Pwrtrip and so does anyone else who works in IT as a real job. All responsibility falls back to the manager of the department. What a disgrace.

Maybe it's time that the school district had an IT controls audit. There seems to be underlying issues with this 'virus.'

Qwerty: The article isn't overly tecnical, but this is a type of attack usually aimed at overwhelming the target server or it is used to relay spam. This doesn't have anything to do with real email or how long it is being archived. It's malicious activity.

It really doesn't matter if the end user sees the onslaught of the "spam." That is not the issue with this type of attack. Truth: you make a great point.
What in the world is the city passing off as a mail server and what type of intrusion detection/prevention systems are they using?

This type of attack is not anything new or uncommon. If a few simple controls were in place this type of attack would not have been possible and I speak from years of experience managing IT in the private sector. It doesn't appear that the city, similar to the school distrcit, take IT security seriously.

JCK - are you attacking M&I or Ms. Willmer-Sheedy? You are speculating and something that is probably completely not true. If the city wants her to go then - you, the taxpayer will foot the bill. Don't complain about something that isn't true.

My plan? I think my time here is better spent telling you why yours is insane. Who owns your mortage? Not your local bank (if it is a conventional instrument) - probably Fannie or Freddie or a larger bank that's possibly tanking. To tell these institutions, most of which under regulator control, that they won't have any income for ten months - according to your plan would CRUSH them financially. I don't see why you don't get that. Mr. Joe Citizen will have a handful of months to catch up on other bills as more banks collapse, businesses close and the dollar continues to devalue.
Our financial markets need an infusion of cash to slow, if not, stop the catastrophe. You can point fingers at the big banks all day long but the bottom line is that regulators are doing their absolute best to comb loan portfolios and call out the banks that are making bad loans and using predatory lending tactics. It's time to learn from our mistakes and move forward with controls in place that fit our new and changing economy.

ListenToMe: you don't really sound educated enough on the financial crisis to comment. Giving every person with a mortgage a credit would do nothing to right our economy. Do you not understand that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are now under government control? Who do you think ultimately owns your mortgage? If the basic infrastructure of our financial markets is colapsing, how will anyone be able to refinance a mortgage or sell a home? What will those homes be worth as the dollar continues to tumble in near free fall?

Hey Technoguy - I feel the same way about Macs and the previous comment was just silly. However, you are starting to sound a bit jaded. Maybe it's time to move on and involve yourself with an organization that doesn't cut corners.
