[Full-Disclosure] Realistic Link Between MSBlast & Power Outages



Those Cyberterrorism nuts may have something? Does
anyone have any idea whether there's any weight to
this anonymous post on Slashdot?

OK you'd have to be a cyber terrorism nut to believe
the power blackouts were caused by the virus but some
friends at Con-Ed have told me the virus isn't totally
innocent, apparently the trouble ticketing / work
management system some of the affected power companies
are using is running on a load of windows servers and
not all of them managed to get patched in time. So the
recovery operation is being hampered a bit by the
worm.
And I thought those guys were just exagerrating
things.
