Bashar: All claims should be understood in contexts, even sometimes the “hidden” content is more important than the “visible” one. :-)

Dr.Leos: Hmm, I’m not sure exactly how. But at all rates, MOC is missing the whole point. Clearly they didn’t know what they’re saying :)

What you say is correct, Bashar. But the problem is wider. There are fields where a help for web publishers is reasonable and doable.

Marzouq: Yeah, which is why they jumped out blaming other ISPs :P

It’s one thing being ignorant. It’s another thing showing it to the world. Silence is a sign of wisdom people say. When you speak, you make mistakes :)

Q8GEEK: LOL at the post :). Guess we don’t have the passion for it.

ISPs should held responsible if something like the comcast DNS incident

but other than that, i think they should blame no one but the internet rat!

What a bunch of idiots, don’t they even know that ISPs refuse outside security intervention of any sort! There is no way they are going to allow an ISP to provide security for a bank/financial institution since it means they have access to their sensitive data or routing protocols!

And MOC is the main ISP of the country! So they are practically blaming themselves! idiots!

MacaholiQ8: Indeed, if they are the host, they are partially liable as a hosting company, not as an ISP.

Providing online security solution might be an extra charged for service, as consulting and such. But again, irrelevant. If my site has open ports, heck best ISP can’t do anything about it.

Well I think there’s a small part where ISPs get to be blamed but that’s only if they’re the host for your domain.

Also ISPs can provide crucial help (internet solutions including online security) but still we can’t hold that against them.

KTDP: My fear is, it’s not only easier, they seem to be ignorant about the fact this is irrelevant to the ISP.

blasha: :) I met some company owner once and when he saw Linux as required OS he had the weird look on his face: “Who uses Linux?”. Then I said you should support Firefox.
“And what’s that supposed to be?”

it’s alot easier to blame an isp that it is to say that there is no way of preventing hacks, sploits(as teh cooool kids say) and defacement of various websites.

hilaliya: Really? I thought Fax is the hot technology in ministries :)

Q8GEEK: That could work as well.

they shouldn’t blame ISPs … they should blame the internet rat (some fictional rat I blame whenever something wrong happens)

MOC officials are still using cables and telexes.

They might learn about the Fax by the year 2012.

Little knowledge is dangerous.

Another evidence that MOC officials are too old for this.
