    An vulnerability will live on forever provided it show's up when an intruder scans you system and is alerted to the weakend state of a certain program or process. I takes but a moment to consult google for the appropriate exploit and BINGO - said kiddy is in heaven.

    "Kaminsky: The entire Northeast lost all electricity. It's never been conclusively, publicly said that this was because of Blaster, but pretty much everyone that I know in that scene was saying, Yeah, Blaster took out all the management machines.

    For everyone jumping on the term "Cyber", and not taking the spirit of this debate seriously - You really should take a closer look. It really is scary how many mission critical systems out there (especially Windows) are vulnerable to attack.

    One word - SONY
