Windows Unprotected 'Survival Time' is Now 40 Minutes
Windows Unprotected 'Survival Time' is Now 40 Minutes
That is just crazy!

According to the latest data at the SANS Internet Storm Center, the average time it takes for an unprotected PC running Microsoft Windows (i.e., firewall off and missing critical security patches) to be compromised after being plugged into the Internet has more than doubled since September 2004. Trouble is, that time gap still isn't that large: An unguarded Windows computer can expect to be hacked within little more than 40 minutes of going online.
