Kama Sutra Worm Hits Softly

Posted by Zonk on from the not-a-problem-with-me dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Despite warnings of the danger posed by the Kama Sutra worm, ZDNet is reporting that things haven't been nearly as bad as expected." From the article: "There have been 'no reports of any (Kama Sutra) detonations so far. Also, the virus seems to be dropping in e-mail prevalence. It was down to second place yesterday, according to our monitoring stations, and slid again into third place today,' Paul Ducklin, head of technology at Sophos Asia-Pacific, told ZDNet Australia. The worm's ranking was overtaken by MyDoom and Netsky variants, which have been around for a number of years. "

      How 'bout "Kama Sutra peaks prematurely" or "Kama Sutra comes with a whimper, not a bang"

    Of course it's soft at first. But wait until it changes positions a few times! It will be surprisingly intense before long.

    Do I ever... My father insisted on turning off the answering machine, because it was digital one that did voice stamps and other complex features, and the "virus could spread through the phone lines".

    +1 to my dad for knowing that the answering machine did have a computer as a component
    -100 for thinking that it was susceptible to a virus dialing it up and infecting it
