Netsky Worm Variant Attacks P2P Services

Posted by timothy on Sunday April 11, 2004 @03:46PM from the lack-of-attention-syndrome dept.

ee_moss points out this Washington Post article (via Yahoo!), excerpting "The latest variant of the Netsky worm directing infected computers to launch Web-based attacks against music- and file-trading Web services such as Kazaa, taking down at least one company's Web sites in the process. The worm, the 19th version of a bug that made its debut in February, is also targeting some Web sites that offer computer programs designed to illegally break or bypass copyright controls on software programs."

It's a bird! It's a plane!
It's a comment that adds nothing to the discussion and just goes to insult the community in some fashion.

Either you're kidding, a grammar troll, or you honestly can't make the inference. In case of the latter, virii is the plural form of virus.
