Previous Politech message: http://www.politechbot.com/p-04401.html --- Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2003 10:02:42 -0500 To: Declan McCullagh <declanat_private> From: Steven Cherry <s.cherryat_private> Subject: Re: FC: Richard Clarke's resignation message, and final warning Declan, It's pretty disturbing that the head of the White House Office of Cyberspace Security, our so-called cyberspace czar, thinks that last week's worm du jour "disabled some root servers" since it's not true, except in logician-speak, where "some" equals "one". Maybe his successor will understand cyberspace better, or speak less disingenuously.

It contains some information on a few things that, I think, haven't been widely reported, such as the role of Microsoft's SQL Data Engine, and a little more detail on what did, and didn't, happen at Bank of America and at the root servers.
