"Consequently, Army officials modified the software to improve the system's accuracy. However, the modified software did not reach Dhahran until February 26, 1991--the day after the Scud incident. " That, to me, makes it doubly tragic. When they knew, they should have alerted everyone immediately, and the update should have been top priority. At least they could have known of the risk and taken precautions. Does bring up an interesting angle to the zero day / responsible disclosure question. I guess if the baddies know of a vulnerability already, delaying disclosure might cause more harm then less.
