on Google’s announcment that a lot of IIS servers are serving malware:
InterestingIts a very interesting statistic indeed, and one that bears repeatingin many an IT department.
Google is a company with extensive internet experience - probablysecond only to Microsoft itself, and one can bet that Google looks atall platform options very closely.
I wonder what exactly can be concluded from this statistic though ?Given that Google runs it’s internets using Microsoft IIS at the verycore, they dont sound too worried about this situation.
Read between the lines of the article though, and the truth isrevealed in the final paragraph - That these compromised servers arerunning PIRATED versions of Microsoft IIS, many of which are probablyalso running Linux, another malware of dubious legality.
It would be informative to learn how many of these pirated domains arerunning Microsoft IIS under Vista vs how many are running MicrosoftIIS under linux ? As always, the truth is in the details.
