Why Sasser Means I Get To See More Of My Wife

Thanks to Sasser, I had the unexpected pleasure of an additional couple of hours of Mrs Timzilla’s company last night after the systems at her Large And Important Place Of Work were borked, and everyone went home early. You’d think that being a Large And Important Place Of Work, there would be some kind of proactive response to the threat of yet another MS-borne worm, especially after Blaster took out their entire (country-wide) network not so long ago. But no, looks like their policy is to wait for it to hit before doing anything about it. Good to see my taxes are well spent.

But then it seems that the larger the estate of machines, the more likely it is that the patches will be left until too late…
