The Bright Side of Blaster
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2003-08-14

The Blaster worm has infected hundreds of thousands of Windows machines, shut down the Maryland state DMV, put network administrators on overtime, crashed countless consumer's home computers, and on Saturday it will attempt a denial-of-service attack on Microsoft's Windows Update site. But that doesn't make it all bad.

why didnt the wormer just write the code to auto-patch the system. That would have been very interesting.

Would it be illegal for M$ to worm their own vuns to patch millions(well yer you know what i mean) of systems?...
