lol, it seems that leading security firms in Israel prefer to give security
advices using outdated articles from the net and flowed logic rather then
relaying on experience.

Other amazing advices where to:
chroot MySQL.
Turn off a feature in ssh that was deprecated around year 2000.

Amazingly this flawed reports pass easily as everyone use them to cover
their aces. Obviously I disagree to join this clownish act and every place I
think they wrong I write it up.
