MS struggles to contain the Slammer worm

An insight into the problems faced by Microsoft
indealing with the Slammer (aka Sapphire) worm is
revealed in internal company memos leaked to El Reg.
The email memos from Microsoft security team (18 in
all of which we publish only the first [most
illuminating] four) reveal a giant corporation
struggling to contain the effects of a virulent worm,
which knocked many of its Internet services offline.
Those who blame system admins for the spread of the
worm might do well to ponder on the fact even
Microsoft had not applied its fix which, it's now
clear, was far from easy to apply.
