any system is vulnerable if your "admin" is playing fast and loose with creds...FTA wrote:The Windigo campaign doesn't rely on technical vulnerabilities to take hold of servers, Eset said. Instead, it uses stolen credentials. That finding led the researchers to conclude password authentication to access servers is inadequate.
the real story here is the sheer volume of newblets rolling *nix servers without even beginning to contemplate security... very much like apple users, they think the OS makes them secure...
