Slammer worm crashed Ohio nuke plant network
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2003-08-19

The Slammer worm penetrated a private computer network at Ohio's Davis-Besse nuclear power plant in January and disabled a safety monitoring system for nearly five hours, despite a belief by plant personnel that the network was protected by a firewall, SecurityFocus has learned.

Doesn't microsoft eula prevent using it's products on mission critical places like nuclear plants?

how about rerouting that war budget and fixing homeland security first.. imagine what if the plant had been operational.. there would've been another tschernobyl in ohio..
