Users (idiots) all over the Internet however have had their hard drives WIPED, DATA STOLEN, and more however. I know first hand people who have had multiple servers wiped (and who knows what else with the data before being wiped), all because they wanted and whined about having their IPMI on public IP addresses.
The real solution is upgrading your firmware AND moving IPMI _OFF_ public access internet.
Only newbs want their IPMI on public, and only newb companys dont have a VPN tunnel service to the IPMI so its fully secure.

A vps server company where i have domain listed in sig is down for several days due this problem.I know it how that company is run by idiots tho didn't expect to be such a big idiots lol.But i have only domains which dont matter there so i dont care.But yes,proper way to do it is by VPN tunnel,softlayer do that if you want access IPMI,first you need to login to local VPN with your username and password,and only then you can access to IPMI.
