We are a .EDU site, but many of our recent security problems have come from
.COM sites :
BIX.COM
CYBERSPACE.COM
CYBERSPACE.NET
DELPHI.COM
I think that with the amazing rise in individual Internet access from
services providing personal terminal-server/telnet access, shell
accounts, SLIP and PPP we will see even more of this (and what will
happen when the big online services begin to provide even more
interactive access to the Internet).
I think if you want to have every Univ/College and K-12 school {in
US,CA,UK,MX,FR,DE,NO,SE,FI,RU,PL,PT,ES,AT,IR,IL,etc......}
tell you when they put a student computing lab on the Internet you
will have very long 'deny' access lists in your CISCOs indeed!
This is one of the reasons there are firewalls (and a firewalls list
to discuss them).
