Microsoft hack: White House warns of 'active threat' of email attack

1. Oh come on now!

Haven't these Exchange servers been the Swiss Cheese of E-Mail servers for many years now?
Haven't they been hacked many times in the past?
They get patched so often, they might as well be called patchware, not software.
Anyone running an unpatched Exchange Server, deserves to be fired. They do not belong in IT.
I was forced to go to Exchange years ago, by the bosses, who insisted on Microsoft, because of all the features. They never use many of them, but they want them any way. When I explained the security risks to IT management, they just shrugged, and said that they still wanted Exchange.
The money alone that they could have changed, by running the mail off of the UNIX system they had, where it was built-in, was astronomical. No software license, except for the original OS, and no license fee per user.
Now they have what they want, with someone else running it, I am retired, and laughing at them to this day.
