> Microsoft on Thursday released an update for Windows NT that fixes the
> critical vulnerability that allowed an intruder to sneak onto a military
> server running Windows 2000... 
> ...The vulnerability took the software giant's security group by surprise
> because a security researcher wasn't the source of information about the
> problem. Normally, a researcher or hacker who finds a vulnerability will
> announce the details publicly or to the software's creator. Instead, the
> attack on the military server was Microsoft's first notice that the flaw
