OnPoint: MSD's Leaky Servers, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
Was thinking replace all the hardware as well but giving Dell all that money makes me unhappy. As you say the place could be awash with rootkits so best to send it all off to Remarkit (assuming MSD are competent enough to get rid of all the data first...)

Do you work on the MSD kiosk team Russel or are you hopelessly naive? The fact there has been a gaping security hole for two years leaves no other option than to assume the whole system is totally comprised. The only way to ensure MSD has a secure system is to rebuild it from scratch. New Active Directory, new domain, new VM's, new PC builds lock stock the f*&king lot.

OnPoint: MSD's Leaky Servers, in reply to Ds,
Sounds about right to rebuild a Microsoft Active Directory of that size from scratch, the only way to ensure a non compromised network at MSD

Hence the semi humorous 'nuke it from orbit' comments. The whole network is utterly comprised, it's more than conceivable that MSD are now guests in there own systems...

NZ media is woeful, heard the event called a privacy breach and a database breach last night on the idiot box. Its a SECURITY breach, privacy and data loss are just symptoms

a la TracyMac. Nuke it from orbit, its the only way to be sure

At least they installed font updates on the WINZ kiosks, Ironic Sans if I'm not mistaken?

If MSD was unable to secure the data what are the chances there is any audit trail of who has accessed the data? Call me cynical but I'd say nil (sorry Jacqui)
