No, you're completely right! It's not Cobalt's fault, it's ISC.org's
fault, or, no! Stop, it's not even ISC.org's fault but rathermost those
idiots who make such worms. There will allways be some security leaks
and as long noone exploits them, nobody gets harmed. So stop blaiming
Cobalt for something that they're not responsible for. Everyone could
have made that update for BIND way earlier, before the situation got
ugly. It's everyone's fault who didn't update in time. If you run a
public webserver you are exposed to everyone, even to those that may
harm your website. You should take those security warnings a little more
serious and we wouldn't have to talk about this worm. 

It's the internet. Nobody said the internet is a nice place to be :-)
