< Prev PostParent LinkNext Post > Misc By the way: If you are using Apple's Mail application, the virus emails will be automatically marked as junk and sent to your junk mail folder. Apple Mail has the best spam detection/removal of any mail program I've ever seen (and I've installed/used many, on many platforms).
A few organizations heavily infected/disabled by the recent Windows virii, Blaster, Welchia/Nachi, and Sobig (the world's fastest growing computer virus) in the last two weeks:
- 30% (estimated) of China's Internet users (about 22 million users)
- ABB (a European engineering firm)
- Air Canada (the reservations, check-in, and call center systems shut down, causing canceled flights)
- Amtrak (shut down in some areas)
- Bowling Green City schools network, Kentucky (shut down, closing computer classes)
- CSX Corporation, the third largest U.S. railway (halting passengers and freight)
- Edwards Air Force Base (network shut down)
- Isetan (a department store in Singapore, shut down)
- Maryland's DMV (completely shut down)
- Metro State College in Denver, Colorado
- North Carolina State College
- Several departments of the New Jersey state government
- The Alberta, Canada Government Services Department
- The city offices of Forth Worth, Texas (shut down)
- The Department of Homeland Security
- The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice (shut down)
- The New York Times (shut down)
- The statewide network for government and education in North Dakota (shut down)
- The US Navy Marine Corps intranet (72,000 "unclassified" computers infected)
That's right folks. Using Windows is a threat to national security - by design! |
