We see fundamental security and reliability issues built into these electronic machines. The point is, that if there is a vulnerability to hackers, the only way to assure that the numbers come out right is to be able to do a recount that's dependent upon a paper trail.

Stephen Strahs

There needs to be a better assessment of what the vulnerabilities are and what constitutes vulnerability.

William Ramsay

We see very high vulnerability on the Jersey coast. These things are not going to happen tomorrow. It gradually unfolds over the course of the 21st century. But we will be spending ever-increasing amounts defending the coast.

Scott Charney

There is some vulnerability for swap spreads to widen.

James Sarni

The longer it takes Microsoft to address a known vulnerability, the higher the probability that one of the 'bad guys' will find it and release the details to the public. Microsoft has a responsibility to get these fixes out quickly.

Thor Larholm

We have more scientific know-how today than we did before. We know the vulnerability; we know the hot spots. But prevention is far more the exception than the norm.

Vinod Thomas

Given Mozilla's open and transparent approach, we are very detailed on how we publish our vulnerability reports, and we list each vulnerability separately. Other vendors don't. Other vendors often combine multiple vulnerabilities, for instance, into one security bulletin.

Boy George

It's a security vulnerability and therefore needs to be dealt with.

Thomas Hesse

I think Steve has got some good points on why comparing vulnerability numbers is difficult.

Thomas Kristensen

Tom Liston

There are two primary ways that drive-by downloads are done, either through a vulnerability in IE itself or an add-on, or because the user has the security setting set too low.

Gary Schare

Four years ago, the economy was in a very vulnerable state. Right now, the economy's window of vulnerability has slammed shut. Even though oil prices might have some impact on consumer spending, it's not likely to trigger a new downturn.

Anirvan Banerji

I hypothesize that the Katrina event has made people think pretty seriously about infrastructure and its vulnerability.

Stuart Elway

Are they the team they've been for the last four or five years? Maybe not, but that means they're only a little bit better than everyone else. They've shown a bit of vulnerability, but it's too early for anyone to start dancing around the funeral pyre.

Sandy Simpson

Building reliable, dependable and secure e-commerce sites requires massive investments, ... Successful attacks can destroy the most critical aspect of e-commerce-trust. Ensuring the maintenance of trust is one of the primary functions of intrusion detection and vulnerability assessment products.

Abner Germanow

In my piece, you are watching an idiot who becomes increasingly aware of his vulnerability. But at the same time, there is a sense that the music--the instruments and singing--saves him from that tragic awareness.

Rinde Eckert

This is true regardless of the operating system being used. It is a universal vulnerability.

Kevin Long

I wouldn't want to expose a client to that vulnerability. If the tree is not cut and you can't agree on a price, at least the tree continues to grow. If you're talking about the value of a log, there is a very limited time that the log has value.

Bruce Robinson

No one ever kills himself for the love of a woman, but because love - any love - reveals us in our nakedness, our misery, our vulnerability, our nothingness.

Cesare Pavese

The more functionality you have, the more likelihood there is for a security vulnerability, and Windows NT just keeps building more and more functionality in there.

Ira Winkler

This is not a new concern, but it is one we take seriously. We are working to reduce our vulnerability to this threat.

Gordon Johndroe

There are companies that are paying for vulnerabilities, and with the commercial acquisition of vulnerability information, nobody knows how long [the attackers] are holding that information.

Dean Turner

Code Red means there's a framework for a worm out there right now that has proven its effectiveness to spread. All [virus writers] need is a new vulnerability.

Jim Toole

The disruption in general seems to have reminded the refineries of their vulnerability and the power of Mother Nature. Gasoline production is destined to be affected, and at the end of the day, the production impact for natural gas and oil will be significant.

Kevin Kerr

This is going to cause the meltdown of the Internet, the vulnerability that this worm is exploiting.

Russ Cooper

It is a situation where MCSEs had no idea that there is a fundamental vulnerability in IIS and ISAPI mapping and so had no way to protect their systems other than after-the-fact patching.

Alan Paller

We have an incredibly big, flexible economy, and we've gotten very good at ring-fencing problems. But energy prices -- especially if gas goes back up to $3 a gallon -- are an obvious vulnerability that would be difficult to compartmentalize.

Terry Connelly

A full-fledged recovery pretty much depends on the U.S. market. Japan's high-tech shares rose on the back of their U.S. counterparts last year, so their vulnerability to losses on the Nasdaq is inevitable.

Tetsuya Ishijima

FEMA strongly recommends communities build higher and stronger to reduce vulnerability from flooding during future hurricanes.

David Maurstad

FEMA strongly recommends that communities build higher and stronger to reduce vulnerability from flooding during future hurricanes. FEMA provides this kind of advisory information to local governments -- but ultimately it is state and local officials, working with their citizens, who make final decisions on land use and other building code requirements.

David Maurstad

The vulnerability still exists in Internet Explorer in that it's very lenient in how it pulls CSS, but right now nobody is publishing a way that it can be leveraged to do something useful. That's not to say that somebody won't find a way. I'm sure somebody will come up with a creative way to leverage it to do something evil.

Michael Sutton

We have to stop the vulnerability of losing lives so stupidly. We have the capacity. We have the brains, yet we behave like new-born kids.

Fred Von Lohmann

This is a relatively old vulnerability.

Vincent Weafer

I think that they did not take into account the vulnerability of America's ports. I think Congress needs to have further hearings on these things.

Martin O'malley

There are different forms of authentication that could be used, including smart cards, one-time password tokens or biometrics. That helps with passwords, but it doesn't help protect text documents we would want to keep classified. I'm not sure what the solution is, but it's important that we're aware of this vulnerability.

Doug Tygar

We have confirmed this vulnerability. I am writing a Microsoft Security Advisory on this…but we wanted to make sure customers knew we were aware of this and we will address it in a security update.

Lennart Wistrand

When Microsoft said last week that it would release seven patches, people were holding their breath. You had to figure with that many, the chances were great that there would be a very dangerous vulnerability. But after looking at these, I think we can let out a sigh of relief.

Alain Sergile

But we are able to show them a few bits and pieces that will open their eyes and make them think about their own vulnerability.

Mark Hyde

If passed, the HR 4437 would permit the government to prosecute almost anyone who has regular contact with an undocumented person by broadening the definition of alien smuggling to include family members, employers, and immigrant advocates. These provisions are likely to drive undocumented immigrants further underground and increase their vulnerability to exploitation.

Joyce Miller

We use a key formula: Threat x Vulnerability = Risk.

Mark Hall

This is the type of vulnerability that's been exploited many times, and those two worms are the biggest examples because they had the biggest impact.

Marc Maiffret

Right now we have a proof of concept for that particular vulnerability. The vulnerability can be exploited.

Justine Aitel

We see this expanded involvement with the government marketplace as a strong affirmation of the importance of a comprehensive vulnerability management solution, particularly when dealing with mission-critical information. We are honored to serve this important customer, and look forward to furthering this customer's success in enhancing the security of its systems.

Steve Solomon

There has been an improvement in the country's fundamentals and a reduction in external vulnerability. That's allowing the government to lengthen debt maturities at smaller premiums.

Flavio Farah

This could have a similar impact [to MS05-039], ... It remains to be seen whether it can be exploited as easily as that earlier vulnerability.

Neel Mehta

We haven't done anything to reduce our vulnerability. I hate to think of the next hurricane season.

Ted Falgout

While we believe Home Depot is one of the finest names in retailing, we continue to reiterate our cautious outlook on the shares, given the company's vulnerability to a potential slowdown in the housing environment.

Alan Rifkin

This camp registration aims to record their total numbers and their vulnerability. The deduced information will also serve in planning for the early recovery phase.

Indrika Ratwatte

Vendors can take months to create patches, and sometimes users grumble about that, ... But the alternative is to have patches that can be circumvented or aren't appropriate for the vulnerability. It's a difficult balance.

Thomas Kristensen

Three of the vulnerabilities can launch malicious code that allows an attacker to snoop on users. The other vulnerability is a DOS attack that will only work in a few cases and crash the media player when it tries to open a file.

Thomas Kristensen

Now that we are aware that this attack vector is a possibility, customers can be certain that we will be scrubbing the code to look for any other points of vulnerability based on this kind of attack.

Debby Fry Wilson

We felt she should have her own history of sexual abuse . . . which makes her feel very deeply about what she is doing, because she's having to look backward into her own vulnerability as well as using all her training and strength.

Mira Sorvino

I always felt her vulnerability. You could always see it, though she'd have killed you if you said so.

Gena Rowlands

Young people don't seem to make a connection with the vulnerability that they can get into by posting themselves publicly.

Nancy Willard

The same is true of Windows and other platforms—there are dozens of potential ways in, according to the SANS Institute, but a vulnerability does not an exploit make. These Mac security holes are a storm in a teacup. They've inspired hundreds of stories in the press and even the national network news, but if they were Windows holes, no one would have blinked.

Leander Kahney

This type of problem is not unique to Microsoft, but they seem to keep making the same mistakes. The vulnerability is noteworthy because hackers could create an automated exploit that would impact the vast number of Windows users.

Andrew Jaquith

They are certainly related in terms of the vulnerability that they exploit and the way they exploit them.

Bob Gerber

Part of the significance of this vulnerability announcement is that your machine can be exploited without you needing to do anything at all. You don't even have to open an e-mail or attachment, and this happens with the default configuration of the product.

Michael Gavin

The vulnerability itself has been known about for a while, but it was only a problem for a denial-of-service attack that would sometimes cause IE to crash. Up until now, no one knew how to mark the code and find it in memory to execute a remote code attack.

Johannes Ullrich

While Apple added a checkpoint to the downloading and execution process, they did not eliminate this vulnerability. If a user can be tricked into opening a file that looks like a picture, the user may actually be opening a malicious script.

Kevin Long

Institutions are the thundering herd. That's where the real vulnerability comes in. Money is already put on the line with these stocks as opposed to being on the sidelines waiting to come back in.

Bernie Schaeffer

It's a potential vulnerability that's of strong concern to the department.

Jonathan Frenkel

When you do something like this, you do increase the vulnerability for fraud, plain waste, abuse and mismanagement, ... We are very apprehensive about what we are seeing.

Richard Skinner

The approach is about focusing the limited resources TSA has where the threat is the greatest. The challenge here is to look at security through the lens of threat vulnerability and consequence. The suggestions that are being considered are part of a larger effort to challenge the measures we have in place to help us improve security.

Yolanda Clark

We're surprised that the focus is on more drilling when drilling has shown itself to be a vulnerability. It's misguided to focus on drilling.

Melinda Pierce

Bullfighting ... is past its prime and is slowly dying out; and Pierce, as his character, is past his prime and is slowly dying out. It complements things that Pierce has done. What we haven't seen in Pierce before is the vulnerability because in every part he's ever played, he's always been in control. What's funny about Julian is he should be in total control, but he's a total mess.

Richard Shepard

What he wanted to do was close a vulnerability to the West; to have an intercontinental, long-range bomber equal to the B-29, which became even more crucial after 1949 with the first Soviet atomic weapon.

Von Hardesty

GTA is a household name in much of Europe. They consistently handle sensitive customer data, and they've recognized the value of securing the most vigilant vulnerability management solution available to protect that data -- Citadel's Hercules. We look forward to furthering this important customer's success in enhancing the security of its systems.

Steve Solomon

Trafficking in counterfeit documents poses a serious security vulnerability and contributes to a host of other types of crimes, including identity theft and financial fraud. Our goal is to identify and ultimately dismantle the criminal organizations behind these highly lucrative schemes.

Leigh Winchell

The main vulnerability here is the high and growing level of indebtedness. This poses dangers because, notwithstanding current robust economic growth in Ireland, there are domestic and external risks to the economic outlook.

John Hurley

The US needs to take the lead in saying this is a vulnerability that needs to at least be explored. Putting our heads in the sand and acting like it's still 1961 in a post-9/11 environment is just not the way to go.

Andrew Thomas

The threat level for this vulnerability may be dramatically increased if more automated methods of distribution are found to be successful, such as e-mail or IM or file shares. The impact of attacks may also increase, with more sinister codes being installed as new hackers attempt to leverage the vulnerability to their advantage.

Ken Dunham

Simple. A new vulnerability came out. The number of IIS 4 servers out there is a lot less than the number of IIS 5 servers. So when the IIS 5 vulnerability was announced, it made sense for the author to adapt his worm for that. People assumed it was a new exploit and it was not.

Jim Toole

As time goes on, people have to get back to their daily routines, but in the long term, it changes the way people look at the world. After Sept. 11, people have a greater sense of vulnerability.

Walter Carroll

The vulnerability which I demonstrated -- but didn't give any information about -- was properly disclosed to Cisco months in advance.

Michael Lynn

Talent is an amalgam of high sensitivity; easy vulnerability; high sensory equipment (seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, tasting -- intensely); a vivid imagination as well as a grip on reality; the desire to communicate one's own experience and sensations, to make one's self heard and seen.

Uta Hagen

Is a continuation of the pattern of the last seven months -- a pattern of delay and excessive use of national security standards to deny the people the knowledge of their vulnerability.

Bob Graham

For a rich and intensive prose, which with restrained compassion forms a challenging vision of man's vulnerability.

Camilo Jose Cela

They're working on the fly, and messing around with the [Perl] code to change the types of data it goes after. They're always looking for the latest vulnerability, which makes it difficult to tackle.

Chris Boyd

The unintended consequence to disaster is more vulnerability, created by a culture of expectation that government will always be there to make us whole.

Jim Geringer

Our combined efforts to deal with the water challenge have turned our vulnerability into a strength.

Lee Hsien Loong

There can be no vulnerability without risk; there can be no community without vulnerability; there can be no peace, and ultimately no life, without community.

M. Scott Peck

In addition to increasing their understanding of web vulnerabilities, the most important thing enterprises can do to secure their data is to use web site vulnerability scanning software, and to scan applications every time there is a code change.

Nick Galea

There is vulnerability there, and I don't think many of you believe that.

Jim Slinsky

Large enterprise networks are typically exposed to hundreds of thousands of vulnerabilities and other security risks. The problem for IT teams is identifying the most critical high-priority risks and taking the necessary steps for remediation, ... Integrated vulnerability management and topology analysis should help organizations identify and appropriately prioritize remediation efforts.

Paul Proctor

We're recommending as a work-around that customers who are worried about this vulnerability disable active scripting, while we develop a patch for this.

Scott Culp

If passed, HR 4437 is likely to drive undocumented immigrants further underground and increase their vulnerability to exploitation by broadening the definition of alien smuggling to include family members, employers, and immigrant advocates.

Joyce Miller

We're still investigating, but we have confirmed this vulnerability and I am writing a Microsoft ( Profile , Products , Articles ) Security Advisory on this. We will address it in a security update.

Lennart Wistrand

The information as published is extremely misleading and Microsoft?s choice not to document a publicly-reported vulnerability is not one that will be for the benefit of its customers? security.

Matthew Murphy

We encourage anyone who has any security issues to bring them to our attention. Following the good protocol in vulnerability management, we will fix it. Security is an ongoing issue that we will always monitor relentlessly and carefully.

Thomas Hesse

It's wonderful to be back. Back among the mountains that remind us of our vulnerability, our ultimate lack of control over the world we live in. Mountains that demand humility, and yield so much peace in return.

Alex Lowe

It requires user interaction of some sort, which takes it down a notch from MS05-051, but it is still a serious vulnerability.

Neel Mehta

Attackers may... [exploit] this vulnerability en masse...

Craig Schmugar

Women have three times greater vulnerability to getting depressed if things go wrong in relationships, and while the holidays can be wonderful, it's a time when you see relationships realistically and inevitably there will be disappointments.

Ellen Mcgrath
