Well, authentication systems are designed with maximum security, redundancy and worst case scenarios in mind, hence I was little troubled about this drastic move of taking it offline.
I take exactly the opposite point of view. If MF have any reason that they have, anywhere in their networks, vulnerable systems then the safe thing, from their and our perspective, is to block the firewalls. It may cause a few days inconvenience but it’s than the risks of the alternative.
You got me wrong, David. The fact, that it was necessary to take the authentication system down troubled me, not the fact, that they took it down - which is the only sane decision at this point. I wonder, how an attacker could get *that* *deep* inside the MF network to perform *this* attack.
