Posted on 9 May 2003 to: Information Security

And people wonder why I don’t particularly care for Microsoft. I mean, buffer overflows I can understand, but resetting passwords by setting the option “emailpwdreset”? Why not just set it to “hackmeplease” and save everyone a little bit of trouble?

Update: For comparison, 2.2 trillion is about the same as the entire United States budget. Don’t hold your breath waiting for Microsoft to write a check for this one.
