And I'd like an example made of companies that ignore reports of 
security flaws and leave their customers open to such worms; not to 
mention giving the impression to misguided teenagers that the only way 
they will be heard is to release a worm.

Historically, I believe some companies have ignored security concerns 
until someone (sometimes non-maliciously) released a worm. Of course, 
even non-malicious worms can have unpredictable results which result in 
catastrophic behavior. The earliest examples predate my residence on the 
network, but I've read a small bug made them extremely bad.
