Symantec Knew and Said Nothing.

Catchy title huh? make sure you read page two of the Wired.com article.
"Symantec claims to have identified the Slammer worm that ravaged the Internet during the last weekend of January hours before anyone else did.

Symantec then shared the information only with select customers, leaving the rest of the global community to get slapped around by Slammer."
How sweet it is to be screwed by Symantec. Here is their reason.
" "Unless you are a paid Symantec DeepSight Threat Management System customer, you would not have received the early notification," "
A valid reason but hardly excusable.
