For computer security experts, 2003 started with the Slammer Internet worm and went downhill from there. The year, which included four major worm and virus outbreaks just in August, has been labeled the "year of the worm" and "the worst year ever" by more than one computer security expert. | ||

Sobig.F and the MS03-26 Vulnerability is a pretty good example.
Made August 2003 by far the most miserable month I've had in 23 years of computing. TL |

Not one of these viruses had the impact that Nimda did. Things are getting better, for most people who have well managed environments, email viruses are a non-starter. Slammer was a problem because MS didn't do a good job at managing patches for SQL Server as well as ignoring MSDE. That's changed now. BTW, I noticed that Shavlik is now offering HFNetChkPro for free, to manage up to 10 computers. That's useful for SOHO users. |
