Microsoft was besieged with problems in 2001. As well as having its name, if not any fault, attached to the VeriSign fake-certificates (see Part 1), it was also involved in giving some of its best customers a virus.
The FunLove virus was nestling in the corporate customer Web server for 'Premier' support accounts -infected files were offered for download, between infection and detection, to 26 of Microsoft's best customers. Shortly afterwards, a major hole in IIS 5.0 was publicized. Scott Culp, security product manager, said of the bug in Internet printing: "Everyone who is using IIS 5.0 needs to apply that patch right nowtoday, before they go home."
Both Microsoft matters illustrate that patching was the management issue du jour -vendors issuing them and businesses applying them (or not).
