- bediger4000 12y agoBlaster happened in 2003, 11 years ago. There have been worms since then, but after 2004, no huge worms like Code Red or Witty or Blaster or Sasser show up. Conficker appears to be the last major widespread worm, but it's pretty mysterious. Is there any reason to suspect that the epidemic of worms we saw in 2003-2004 will ever happen again?
- aGuyWithAPhone 12y agoMight not be an epidemic, but I have a feeling that there are groups sitting on o-days that if they were released simultaneously, would have a spread similar to conficker or blaster.
