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.

I could not agree more. CEOs think it is about sys admin guys being jealous of Bill because they would like to be him.

With all the shit crashing everywhere on Windows, I don't care how much money you gave me, I WOULD NOT want to be Bill Gates, who is looking more and more like the next Bernard Ebbers (Ex-CEO of MCI/WorldCom/Whatever it is this week), the guy who single handedly destroyed a critical infrastructure industry, telecom.
