One comment that caught my eye:
computers at CNN and the New York Times became infected by one or more variants of the worm, and the public profile of the programs increased a notch.
Isnt it typical.. a virus is not considered bad untill it hits a media organisations network..

regularly have customers ask "Are you able to remove that new Virus that is out at the moment", my reply.. "which, one from todays list ? or are we talking about the old virus that hit CNN"
