I was asked to be prepared to answer questions about the conficker worm, not like anything blew up that day, but was graciously interviewed by Bob Cowan at CHCH TV Morning News. The folks at the Morning Live team were great, had a nice breakfast in the green room :) and spoke with Bob in detail about the worm. I was happy to see that he was well aware that this was an update to the worm, we were seeing for April 1st, not some doomsday moment, so he was realistic about the threat.
I like how Bob starts about how this worm only impacts windows pc's. I suspect he is a mac user at heart, and if not now, should be.
I know, I know, mac i as exploitable as windows, yada yada, also it just isn't the target to these things right now. Yes, I realize that windows is the big ship in the water (so to speak), but we are only going to see more attacks like conficker and more complex botnets, so why not ride out that first wave in the life boat, and not the titanic? We can all worry about the macbot threats when it happens, I for one, am abandoning ship (so to speak).

I'd be happy to abandon ship with you. Too bad I can't get my work PC to be a Mac :)
