Yeah, the securuty guys at my work are flipping out over it.

I am not worried about it. Everyone has been freaked out about it, as its supposedly going to be turned on april 1.


Thing is its been active, downloading lists and files for weeks.


Anyways, they had a breakthrough this afternoon, as they found the worms fingerprint.

I'm not worried. My Winderz machines are up to date and my mission critical stuff is all on Linux or BSD.

Sometimes I wonder if maybe MS and/or the spyware/maleware/antibot/etc companies devise some of these things when business gets slow.

I'm doubling up the layers on my Tin-foil hat and I'm trying out the new Non-stick tin-foil version too...I hears tell that when the radiation starts to heat up the tin-foil, the Non-stick stuff helps keep your hair from sticking inside the hat!!!
