And I'd like an example made of companies that ignore reports of security flaws and leave their customers open to such worms; not to mention giving the impression to misguided teenagers that the only way they will be heard is to release a worm.
Historically, I believe some companies have ignored security concerns until someone (sometimes non-maliciously) released a worm. Of course, even non-malicious worms can have unpredictable results which result in catastrophic behavior. The earliest examples predate my residence on the network, but I've read a small bug made them extremely bad.
