A new hack based on the so-called RPC (Remote Process Call) Vulnerability has surfaced, one that breaches FULLY PATCHED systems including - but not neccessarily limited to:
* Win XP Professional
* Win XP Home
* Win 2000 Workstation
(Windows 95, 98 and Millennium do not support RPC, and are thusly immune.)
PLEASE make sure you:
* Enable the built-in FIREWALL in Win XP or have a better, stand-alone solution.
* Run a FRESHLY UPDATED VIRUS KILLER!!!
Currently there is no patch to stop this exploit!!!
Good to know when Microsoft fixes a security hole, it stays fixed, huh? ::-)

Appx. 21:05 tonight, our beautiful football babes lost the world championships finals against the hairy-legged women of Germany.
The evening news started at nine and reported as the first item on the agenda that the match had gone into time extension after the score was 1-1 at the end of the two periods. I thought, 'we will loose', just so I could be pleasantly surprised if we didn't I guess. After that followed brief news on the latest car bombing in Baghdad, and just minutes later came the news...
As it turns out, I was right. We did lose. 
Well, second place isn't so bad either I guess!

If you have a stand-alone firewall and you know how to do this, configure it as follows:
have it block ALL incoming TCP and UDP packets on ports
135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 445, 539.
this way, any contagious incoming packets will be filtered out.
it also protects you against any possible future RPC exploits.
hope this helps.

Remember BLASTER? Think now it's SAFE? Think again! 
Oh no, I jinxed it! 
THIS is why rejection is painful...
