Where the hell is the microphone?
Well? Where is it? I make a joke about the hole being so blatantly unpatched still despite all the noise, that someone ought to write a worm to patch it, and within 48 hours this happens.
Add to it that, when MS0-026 came out, it was obviously a problem calling for a worm. Loudly. When I wrote up the advisory for a client's internal service delivery (ops) staff, we said the patch timeline should be: ASAP for critical infra and border hosts, Aug 1 for all servers and as many laptops as you can get, and Aug 8 to wrap up desktops and everything else. On Aug 11, the worm showed up.
Now I wonder when the prediction about an MS03-030/MS03-026 combo hole worm will come out. If it does, it will be veri nasti.

Bad randomnumgenerator.

I listen.
If I had the will, I could probably make a haiku out of that.
