LoveBug worm hit 10 years ago during a simpler time
,----[ Quote ]
| When the LoveBug worm hit 10 years ago, it
| was a different time when people believed
| admirers were really reaching out to say "I
| love you", personal firewalls were turned
| off by default and executable attachments
| weren't blocked at e-mail gateways.
|
| Those circumstances allowed the Love Letter
| worm -- the first Visual Basic script worm
| -- to infect more than 50 million computers
| worldwide within a week, causing estimated
| $5 billion to $8 billion in damages,
| bringing down networks by maxing out their
| ability to fire off e-mails and causing
| painstaking disinfection of affected
| machines.
