Default Minda virus

Just heard on CNN that the MINDA Virus, which is a
spinoff of the Code Red Virus, is causing internet trouble today!

I was just reading something in an e-mail that said that computer terrorism wasn't going to be that far behind. I wonder who's behind this one.

Zonelabs block 64 attempts to get into my computer in 30 minutes. I don't usually get but one or two a day. Whats up with that?
I would also like to add that if any of you people can return the gift of computer terror to the ones that have it coming, then I hope you hack the shlt out of um. I see no reason to be nice about these pigs anymore.

Everyone where I work got to go home at 2:00 because of this thing.

I'm definitely suspicious of this being a terrorist attack or at least would not be surprised if it was. Internet attack is a very strong possibility in this day and age. There is no reason why terrorist orgs could not have put some other people here to get computer educations just so they can attack our networks.

Yea, Road Runner has been very sporadic around here today and it was this way when the Code Red virus was acting up.
