Those Cyberterrorism nuts may have something? Does anyone have any idea whether there's any weight to this anonymous post on Slashdot? http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=74774&cid=6701771 MS Worm & Power Cuts (Score:5, Interesting) by Anonymous Coward on Thursday August 14, @17:25 (#6701771) OK you'd have to be a cyber terrorism nut to believe the power blackouts were caused by the virus but some friends at Con-Ed have told me the virus isn't totally innocent, apparently the trouble ticketing / work management system some of the affected power companies are using is running on a load of windows servers and not all of them managed to get patched in time. So the recovery operation is being hampered a bit by the worm. And I thought those guys were just exagerrating things. [ Reply to This ] __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
