“Servers at several companies, including CBS, were clogged
by the thousands of e-mails flooding networks as the bug worked its
way across mostly Europe and the United States.”
“Martin said SARC had received at least one hundred submissions
of the “ProLin” bug since Thursday, but he didn’t expect the virus
to spread more than it had. He said people and companies were
better informed about how to protect computers from e-mail
distributed viruses.”
“I have a feeling it will taper off because it’s not doing a lot
of damage, it’s not taking the systems down and it’s easy to
catch,” Martin said.”
