CNET News.com: "Havoc caused by variants of the Zotob worm could have been far worse had they not contained flaws, security companies say.
Chris Andrew, vice president of product management at PatchLink, said that coding errors caused a few variants of the worm to send computers into a reboot loop, which meant they spent very little time spreading the infection.
'If you read the vulnerability description in that exploit, it actually tells you that if you do it wrong it crashes the computer. If you do it right, then nobody can tell you have hacked the computer,' Andrew said."
