The word cyberterrorist is a joke in and of itself.

So your system goes down. Patch it, next time. Set up better firewalls (our DMZ servers are immune to the RPC bug because we don't allow those ports in - but we patched them immediately anyways).

Full diclosure is the only way to go, as it is our right to know as much as possible about security flaws in the applications we run.
