That's not exactly what I meant, but I guess I can agree that any unpatched (Pirated or not) version of Windows are potential botnet hosts. What I was saying is that if more people knew you could pirate a copy and still get patches, rather than spend $200, do you not think they would? -----Original Message----- From: Ali, Saqib [mailto:docbook.xml@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2008 11:27 AM To: Worrell, Brian Cc: Ansgar -59cobalt- Wiechers; security-basics@securityfocus.com Subject: Re: microsoft updates
But that aside, if M$ let people update pirated copies, would that not
let more people think they can pirate it, rather than buy it? Which would make a larger bot network by your theory?
This statement assumes that "ALL" Windows machines are potential botnet hosts...... saqib http://www.quantumcrypto.de/dante/
