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.

When will the CEO's stop listening to M$ and start listening to the people who have to adminster the systems.

M$ does not belong in mission critical operations - not even on the desktop.

no gui's on mission critical server and firewall on every box that is mission critical.

Let see - what fits that description.

*nix.

They shouldn't even let M$ boxes connect to the operational network. Stictly ssh and *nix.

For the sake of the country and people's lives please dump Microsoft.
