[LUG] Conficker borks London council

 

Hi folks,

I can't remember if this was posted before, but it's an article about how a London council was infected with Conficker costing them lots of money to sort out (plus lots of lost revenue in fines). Their solution?

Upgrade from Windows 2000 to Windows XP.  Yeah great.
