I suppose there is, but DHS's request (order/asking whatever) was NOT in the form of a court order... its: http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/verify_redirect.jsp?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dhs.gov%2Fdhspublic%2Finterweb%2Fassetlibrary%2FAdvisory_Attack_MS.PDF&title=Advisory+-+Potential+Internet+Attack+Targeting+Microsoft+Beginning+August+16%2C+2003+-+August+14%2C+2003 (ouch, how about: http://tinyurl.com/li0i ) and/or http://tinyurl.com/li0s Neither is really an 'order' so much as a 'suggestion'.. either way, its kind of inappropriate to make this suggestion without knowing how each operator can or could apply a fix... that is my opinion atleast. |
