This is totally piling on, but given this recent security compromise, I think the whole Linux community needs to reevaluate its "can't happen here" mentality. I don't care if its social engineering or I-Love-You, if the world comes to an end, that's A Bad Thing.
It's only going to get worse as Linux gets more popular. There were dozens of Microsoft disasters before the mainstream press and the general public noticed. Linux is long overdue for a major security black eye. It's going to suck when it happens. I think all Linux devs, from Linus on down, need to stop and think very seriously about what can be done to preemptively mitigate the inevitable embarressments which are sure to come (soon). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
