@bsergean ah - thanks for the correction - can I claim 140 char limit as an excuse? ;)
all you ops and security folks, check your ssh setups. Looks to be a hot summer on the intarwebs: http://isc.sans.org/diary...
Thanks for echoing this..I'm going to talk about it myself on various outlets. Pretty serious. - Bwana
ah - just found your posting of it as I was catching up on FriendFeed - yea, spreading the word on this for sure - Mike Taylor
Thanks for this. I'll keep a look out, and I wonder if it was anything to do with some recent failed attempts to gain access to one of my machines here via SSH (I've since applied IPtables filtering on TCP port 22). - Tyson Key
While this is very interesting and good to echo (I have as well). If it turns out to be some "cover-up" that could be even more interesting. Who's important enough to need to start a rumour like this in order to save face? - Kenton
@monkchips I would curious to see how all of the other micro-kernel or real-time OS types are reacting to ChromeOS: cheers or jeers?
The more effort put towards open source projects, the better, right? - Mitch
That depends on how they handle the fork. Will they be very open to downstream/upstream patch sharing like Canonical is with Debian or will it take months to years to get anything accepted? Are they working with an existing OS that has patent encumberances because of the hardware being targetted? What OS license will it be under? A lot more questions than facts right now - but that seems to be the Google way lately. - Mike Taylor
watching the technical cluster fuck that is the cNet chat about Google OS - sorry guys, I gotta call it like I see it :(

@alphakamp keys for sure, you may also want to change port to something other than 22 and if your on prod servers, install a ban script

@alphakamp not sure yet - it's currently a rumour, but some of us are raising the issue as a warning and reminder for folks to check configs
