From the article: "...making it a simple matter for an attacker to decrypt the traffic passing through the device". I'd think it would only be *to* the device.
Yeah. I had not read the exploit. It was apparently a Linux box that was compromised.
Ah. My bad. I just read the exploit summary.
I think this particular instance was more a matter of poor security practices in web development than underlying OS or web server, but it does seem a bit odd that a military branch would use Microsoft/IIS vice using a Unix or Linux platform. It appears that the U.S. Navy is also running IIS for their primary public site.

If at first you don't succeed, you must be a programmer.
