Of courseâ
I was referring to my servers for starters.
All laptops in our offices are protected and firewalled as well.
Thanks for the concern though!

what about remote users? how do they connect to the internal network and what
resources can they access?
Laptops, what if I'm a road warrior and coming back to the office, with my
unpatched and potentially compromised system
Just my 2 cents. --John

As far as I know, if you are firewalled correctly and have your 445 tcp port
shut to the outside - this thing should NOT be able to get in.
Am I wrong?

Hi List,
Yesterday one of my customers was hit hard by what appears to be a variant
of zotob.
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.zotob.b.html
This one was very (noisy) crashing services.exe and forcing re-boots on
unpatched WIN2K machines. The boxes we've had a chance to look at were not
infected, but were unpatched. We hope to have samples today from the same
network and have a closer look.
It's time to get patching!
Regards
Mike
