techrecoveryA few minutes ago, my boss took a fax off the machine and started laughing hysterically.
He showed me the fax, and I immediately saw why. Here's the exact text:
Questions For IT People
1. How can years-old, internally created files be infected with a worm virus?
2. How could contract IT people come -and- go for years, inspecting & working on our server, and not detect this worm virus?
3. Is it worthwhile to put anti-virus software on the server now?
Yeah.
I want to sit these people down in front of symantec.com and make them read the info on every major virus in circulation.
The kicker: we haven't been out to this client in years. They got someone's brother or cousin or some crap to poke their stuff instead of spending the money for real techs. AAAIGH.
