Those of you out there that are running MS-SQL should probably be checking the boxes out extensively for unusual behavior.

Microsoft just announced record earnings again. I guess that's easier when you don't have to worry about debugging your code, or the damage defective products do to clients.

This excerpt appears to be about MySQL not MS SQL Server.

A good reason to consider PostgreSQL.

You may want to reread this :) . This affects MYSQL, not MS-SQL. Mysql is an open source database --- and its just taking advantage of poorly configured servers, not a flaw in the product itself.

Microsoft announced record earnings again because they have the best products, period. In your haste to spew hate, you didn't even notice this problem is strictly related to another one of your foreign pieces of freeware, MySQL. Must suck to be you about now.

I posted an article on this tonight. It ended up in the Bloggers/Personal Forum.

Unix and Linux systems running MySQL currently are not at risk from the bot.

MySQL should never have a default password for root and their install should never allow it. Thats just ASKING for a worm.
