not here where I'm living. But IANAL in your country. So, it depends on 
where you are living if it's illegal or not.

That's your *interpretation*, not what I said. And this interpretation 
is *wrong*.

ACK. But only unpatched computers were vulnerable - we had no problems 
here 'cause we've already patched our machines. So, our network was not 
violated and we had time for more important things then solving problems 
caused by a worm that could spread because of unpatched computers.
