> Heartbleed really shook the IT world, I don't know anybody in operations that was not affected by it. (And I can hear them collectively sighing right now). If there was a Richter scale for exploits it would have rated a '9'.

Having been around in the '90s, with the instant root shell exploits and whatnot, I tend to think of Heartbleed as more of a 6.

I think some people have also forgotten what a complete disaster Microsoft was right up until the mid 2000s. IE exploits, Windows exploits, IIS exploits (remember Code Red?). They well and truly earned their reputation.
