virus attack tonite? - GoFuckYourself.com

I heard on the radio that there is a virus call something like "RED WORM" hitting the internet tonite or tomorrow, which is going to slow down the whole internet and may cause mess up web pages. Is anyone aware of this?

Better get ready! http://www.cnn.com/2001/TECH/interne...red/index.html

14 hrs 7 mins til poof and the net shuts down.

Target of infection: Unpatched systems running Microsoft Index 2.0 or Windows 2000 Indexing Service

So 98'ers are safe.
