    Hi, my name is Gabriele Avosani and i'm an italian programmer. Through
    network programming i have recently uncovered a new windows server security
    flaw.
    The new flaw i have discovered is actually an infinite login Administrator
    ( or other accounts ) attempts without limits. This leads to brute force
    attacks.
    Actually if you try to login to a windows server you have 10 attempts before
    windows stop you and writes to the log. With my system the number of login
    attempts is infinite.

    Now i would like to inform Microsoft of this, but i have not found on the
    Microsoft www site any email contacts to write to, only an american phone
    number. So i kindly ask to this newsgroup if someone have an email contact
    of Microsoft security.
    Thanks in advance for the attention.
