Hi all,

Remember that little talk about security a few months ago? Yes, Mark Fowles 
and myself were the silly people that think about how serious security is 
and wanted to share the concern with you.

Here's an article that will show how easy will be to get a Linux machine 
infected with AnnaKournikova.pl or CodeRed.sh or you-name-it.

The use Linux (or *BSD) does not imply using a secure system nor a virii 
inmune system. Please take your security carefully. Right now, someone is 
probing your ports. Not only for Windows shares but for NFS exports, 
vulnerable wu-ftp versions and such.

The Article: (I know, the name is waaay to alarming. I guess tabloids are 
back)

Salut,
