Re: Bloody well get it fixed

But this is not mechanically unsound.. using your analogy.

It more a matter of being made un-roadworthy because you have standard tires and not the steel belt radials that the cop thinks you should have on your car.

If the detected threat was one of spewing spam or other vulnerability, that impacted network performance or availability I could agree. But its not. The risk was exposure of credentials, or other information int he session.. and they didn't scan the router either.. they were looking on 443 for SSL hosts not scanning non-standard ports.

Educate folks, but dont do it with FUD.

One looks at the vulnerability and how it applies to ones environment, and makes a risk assessment.. In my case a risk, and scheduled for the next service.. The threat meant it got bought forward The cost.. TPG has lost a customer.. actually a number of them as their contracts expire, as they are now on the same class as DoDo for their service quality.
