Massive internet attack under way

The most massive attack on the internet in the history of the world is currently under way. The goal of the attack is to hijack computers using Trojan Horses and link them together into huge networks of compromised PC's called "botnets". These botnets can then be used to launch Denial Of Service(DOS) attacks on websites. Read more details on the attack here.

At least I don't have to worry.

Right. This is a good point. Those of you that are using Macs("starter PC's"), pocket calculators, or sliderules for your computing needs needn't worry. ;)
