OT: New Virus?

[Arkcon]

The real funny thing is that it the infection caused a real problem at CNN and the NY Times. Some pundits (wags, bloggers, whatever) are claiming that the notoriety this worm has gotten is entirely due to specific attention it was given by these new sources. When all they needed was decent practices to defend themselves.

MS was told of the hole and had it pached before the worm was writen. The wormers [sic] prolly used the tech info about the patch to write the worms.

Any Network that is using good update managment was not hit by this one. Any network that was hit, needs to hand out some pink slips and hire some better network people.
