    Well, this "monumental effort" should have never been needed in the first place. Don't these guys feel embarrassed? I wonder how badly their network was secured, this attack was far from unstoppable.

    yep, but it is expected, many Admins i knew were not better than Average Joe when it come to security... "SRP? what is it?" (they were using Ent version...)

    USA still the best. But barely.
    Yeah well the prevention was ****.

    But they went all the way with the fix.
    A lot of huge companies go half ***.
    So props for that.

    It's unbelievable and ridiculous ! I can't believe that this was the prevention level of Maersk !!! His business, his profits, his customers were not important ?

    I'm tired of myself being outraged by these multi-million/billion dollar companies having kindergarten IT. I'll be outraged again I'm sure.

    But by reinstalling 4,000 servers, 45,000 PCs, and 2500 applications over the course of ten days. I give them props by going whole hog & fixing it. I doubt many others who get caught with their pants down like this go this far.
