"Give us examples of publicly facing websites you regularly use which implement WebDAV. No?
There you go then"
I use bugger all of them, but that wasn't the point of the post. It's already been shown that your more likely to hit a compromised web site with innocent surfing habits (news, films ect) than paying to go to the good old trusted pron sites. Most of these hacked sites will use some form of exploit vector that gives them the best chance at spreading their empire. Now I could have read this exploit wrong but it seems a pretty sure fire way for most non techs to get hit, unless your offering to be their system admin and set up all those lovely workarounds recommended by M$.
So Gran hits her favorite new site (The telegraph, bless her hart) and due to poor eyesight, the strong smell of wee and her total lack of any tech savey is redirected to a page that says click here to download the news item (or lack of being the telegraph), opps.
Your comment sort of reminds me of the Sony boss who said "why should people worry about a root kit, most people don't even know what one is."
