"We have waived normal support guidelines to provide remediation for all operating systems that are still in widespread use, regardless of whether they are normally supported or not." And notice how they were providing the update for "unsupported" OSes, despite the fact that the error was not even theirs. This time the flaw is but a monstrous blunder by MS prgorammers, and yet they wouldn't update "old" OSes, even though those OSes were still under support at the time they were working on the fix ? Disgusting, no ? Disgusting attitude of MS; compare year 2001, security bulletin MS-01-017; is that the same Microsoft ?

Last year Reno settled with the FTC for a mere $160,000. One blogger managed to view some of reno's instant messages where he brags about the fake scans and his many trips to the Ukraine to meet with these cyber criminals. Hopefullt all concerned will get the max on each count and the sentences will run consecutively! These are not ‘alleged’ scammers. Last year Reno settled with the FTC for a mere $160,000.
