This just proves...

that regardless of what you do - stupid people can (and will continue) to exist. Why in the WORLD these folks have not patched (legit or NOT - MS provides this patch free to both) is beyond me. I guess stupid and clueless people will continue to be a zombie slave to botnets and forever spew spam. These people should be thrown on garden-walled connections by their ISP until they are patched (provided they already have been infected with the conficker worm).

Another thought... would it behoove ISPs to somehow validate specific patch levels before granting access to the net via their pipes? Maybe by way of an extra "security" service for a fee or by policy and forbid access (read garden-wall) to the internet until the vulnerability is fixed? I like this - but im a bit torn, I dont want my ISP playing network admin - but I wonder if its for the good of the internet, why not?
