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.

If you want an example of how STUPID users are, look at Sobig.F:
it SPREADS BECAUSE AND ONLY IDIOTS KEEP ON CLICKING ON ATTACHMENTS!
Have these morons been asleep for the past three years?
The only reason that we don't see e-mail worms for Unix machines is because there aren't enough Unix machines out there to make it worthwhile. But it'd be really easy to write a shell script that scans through everywhere a Unix account is likely to have e-mail addresses and sends the script to them.
(By the way, I *really* *hate* the way SecurityFocus defies the normal standards of "submit" and "clear" for its buttons, and instead has the "reset" button first. Whoever designed this page must've been having a *really* bad day!)
