if the worm was active in anticipation of a patch that intoduced a new exploit
vector and it took advantage of that, is'nt the vendor ( microsoft ) to blame
then? As well there was plenty of advanced warning on this exploit long before
msblast was an issue. It seems to me that it is each admins responsiblity, if
they were affected ( infected ) not the coder. if this were the case the
LastStage(of)Delerium would be the blamed party for developing and releasing the
exploit, but alas.. they are not of USA orgin.
SUE LITIGATE BLAME PROCECUTE

as long as the general public remains uneducated ( and many Fortune500 admins)
we will continue
to see this type of action against coders for blame, not the people actualy
responsible for allowing
thier infrastructure to become targets in the first place. im sure this
ignorance is a byproduct of
the weak mind of most Americans as they are in a constant state to blame other
for thier own
problems, this can be seen everywhere in todays American society...
commonly refered as to the "poor me" syndrome..
