Anyone Remember...

[badstar]

Hry folks...a few months back, someone posted an article on their LJ about how quickly windows is comprimised just by being online long enough to download security updates.... aikinut or unprotize, I thought it was one of you guys but I don't see it reading over your journal archives for this year. Then again, I didn't re-read EVERY single entry. And I thought it had been posted with a subject line along the lines of "Like this is news?" or something.

If the original poster remembers this, could you drop me a link? Thanks

Anywhere between 8 and 20 minutes, but that changes with new versions of the O/S in question, patches, etc. Google for "minutes to compromise" should get you a nice spread to use for fear-mongering.

Wasn't me, sorry. I do remember reading it, so it's probably someone that's on both of our friends lists. Prote certainly leaps to mind as a possibility.
