[EAS] [BC] EAS Zombie Attack

[Dave Kline]

Hi All,

I am posting this to the three reflectors that I monitor about EAS stuff.
I hope that is OK with everyone.

With the start of the whole Zombie EAS incident, I have been reading a lot of people's suggestions about what to do to beef up security.
I admittedly do not know a lot about this stuff. (Root Admin? vs GUI admin?) (Roots vs Shoots?) and a lot of other deep knowledge buzzwords.
The point being that if someone has solutions to some of this, could you share what you are doing rather than just say you're doing it.
It might be helpful to those of us who are less versed in the ways of the web.
For instance everyone is talking about firewall security. But not really saying anything that might be helpful to me or others in my position.
I also realize that it can be dangerous for someone like me with little knowledge to just jump in and play monkey see, monkey do.
I would proceed with caution and try to do some research first if only I knew where to look.

For all of you guys that live and love IT I say thank you.
On behalf of the other few "curmudgeons of the cart" days of radio, if you can help point us in the right direction, and feel it is safe to do so, then we would be glad to hear from you.

Dave
