  Microsoft's Got Worms
Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: The Motley Fool | Posted By: Todd Richardson

Oh, Microsoft. When you aren't fighting anti-trust lawsuits or announcing a minuscule dividend payout, your focus on security is being called into question. Well, the company can't blame the naysayers for this one. The nasty "SQL Slammer" worm that made mud pie out of Internet traffic last weekend targeted a known vulnerability in Microsoft's SQL Server database software. The software giant posted a patch to address the problem in June, so it says it bears no responsibility for the havoc wreaked on individual machines because folks didn't install the fix. Security experts, though, say the Dow component's "Trustworthy Computing" initiative is a farce.
