Conficker Worm Strike Reports Start Rolling In

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday April 1, 2009 @02:10AM from the be-on-the-lookout dept.

Nieriko writes "Reports are trickling in about the impact from the Conficker worm, as infected systems passed zero hour at midnight and began downloading additional malicious components. Here are a couple of the more notable incidents caused by Conficker so far, according to published reports: — '... shortly after midnight local time, an ATM in the capital city of Reykjavik began spewing 100-Krona notes. ... A nuclear missile installation near Elmendorf Air force Base outside of Anchorage, Alaska briefly went on a full-scale military alert after technicians manning the bunker suspected that several of their control systems were infected with Conficker.'"

Really? I could have sworn the ATM I saw a while back sitting in an "altered" state was running a customized version of OS2.
A while back = a couple years though, so I could see it...

No more biased than any of the other stations.
They all have agendas.

Your list is but an understatement of the depth of their leanings... at least Fox gives a conservative view - whereas the others do NOT.
What is amazing is that the real haters of Fox don't acknowledge the bias of the others. It's completely laughable.
