The Dangers of Worms -- 1:06 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Computer worms are more than just annoying. They could be deadly. Witness two different account where the recent worms have taken down a safety monitoring system at a nuclear plant (which thankfully was offline) and a train scheduling and signaling system. I don't know which is worse, that the worms caused this damage or that the systems were designed and maintained in such a way that this attack was possible. Thanks Slashdot.

And along those same lines . . .
