Subject: Massive Vulnerabilities Discovered
> SERIOUS VULNERABILTY AFFECTS ALL VERSIONS OF UNIX AND WINDOWS
>
> A serious vulnerability has been found in all versions of
> Unix and Windows. This problem most likely affects all
> other systems as well.
>
> It has been found that computer systems must be physically moved
> prior to installation at a computing facility. Moreover,
> when these systems are transported, they are usually moved
> at some point by human beings.
>
> Obvious insecurity Inc. has found that a serious DOS attack
> can be waged on these systems when attackers stand on top of a building
> high above the area where a system is being moved at the proper
> time interval.
>
> The attackers toolkit consists of a long range flamethrower,
> a large sledgehammer, and concussion grenades. If the attacker
> has perfect timing, they may drop the sledgehammer/light the
> flamethrower/drop the grenade onto the target system in
> question, thereby creating a DOS condition.
>
> This scenario can be spread easily through a coordinated
> attack, but this has yet to be seen in the wild.
>
> Vendors have been notified 1.5 minutes ago, but have so
> far proven that they are incompetent by not releasing
> patches or sending a reply to our email. Therfore, in
> the interests of full disclosure, we are making these
> shocking results public, since YOU have a right to know.
>
> This earth shaking, trend setting vulnerability has been
> discovered by Obvious Security Inc. We hope to overwhelm
> bugtraq and the other lists with our skills so we can
> make more money and have more prestige in the computer
> security industry.
>
> Remember - "Just because it's right in your face, does
> not mean that it's obvious".

UNIX is user friendly. It's just very selective about who its friends are.
