Nimda from Microsoft

Microsoft shipped Visual Studio .Net development toolkit CDs that were infected with the Nimda virus to South Korea in mid-May. The incident occurred due to a Nimda outbreak and the failure of a quality assurance process at a South Korean company that Microsoft contracted to work on the CD contents. This a a practical demonstration of one of the hardest problems in security - making sure that business partners are following the same high security standards that you have in place.
