You were doing a fresh install (no SP) of a 10 year-old operating system (xp) on an infected network and you were surprised you got compromised?
Now, XP is first of all, not a great standard in security practices. But without any security updates, on a platform that hackers have had 10 years to find exploits to? If you installed that on an infected network, I'd be surprised if you didn't get compromised.
- bad_user 15y agoNo, it was SP2. And I don't get why you're trying to justify this -- a fresh install should never get compromised by just being connected to a network. Yes, I can install 10-year old versions of other operating systems just fine.
