I blame IT managers for this. By now they should know that Microsoft products are susceptible to these sorts of things given the sloppy source code. The company I work for has both Linux and Microsoft servers including a SQL-2000 server. Our server has a Linux server between it and the Internet. The only mode of pass-through is through Apache to PHP to MSSQL. I'd love to see a worm break through that. The only things I'll expose to the Internet are Linux and firmware-only devices such as Cisco. If you need to have a connection through the Internet to an SQL server you should be running a VPN of some sort like CIPE.
