  1. Worms then.... by djsmiley · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I wonder how long until a worm comes out to take advantage of this....

    its always interested me, from the time my works php site was over run via a googling worm.
    And how you always hear that it takes xhrs after a flaw is found, for someone to start using it.
