Slammin' virus


Computer virus SQL Slammer which caused devastation across the internet last month, is the fastest spreading worm yet. According to US research firm The Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis, Slammer infected more than 90 per cent of vulnerable computers within 10 minutes of its release. Unlike other viruses, SQL Slammer spreads directly through network connections and does not need to be carried by email.

Now that is scary, to think that hackers can and do write "trash" that can do so much damage so fast, and easy.

As always, Good post Mac!
RIP!
