Exploit is out for MS05-039!
The exploit is posted some hours ago. Now let`s sit back and enjoy the havoc… Especially since M$ stopped supporting Windows 2000 SP3 since June 30th 2005!!

Oh by the way, this is a settlement. I pay you, you stop charges, I am happy you are happy. We are business family. [...]

Isreal ordered its ships not to dock to Turkey anymore because of the latest terrorism bombings… Israel urges its citizens to avoid Turkish coast … I`m not going to use any acronyms here… What the fuck?!
