Back to the original topic:::
They same thing happened to one of my 'test/development' servers. We don't always keep our test servers up to date and one got hit. It was that lame win2k printing bug. It just made a new index.html file that said, "fvck the us govt." It was all scripted from some other computer that was compromised. Our logs showed that the remote computer just kept throwing the same commands at our server over and over again. No real damage was done. It took about 15 minutes to clean up.
Lesson of the Day: If you using M$ products for your webserver, don't use the default options. Change some of the paths and try to keep up to date with the patches. <-- This one's hard because new holes are discovered in M$ products every minute.. Good Luck

I'm very ethnocentric but I sometimes have to make some cheap shots too ya know. LOL
It's funny! You gotta admit, being asian makes some of the asian jokes funnier.
My wife and I who are both mixed have good sense of humor when it comes to this.
Just don't make fun of S2000, it's a very sensative issue.
