CNN, ABC News Computers Affected By Worm Targeting Windows 2000
Aug. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Computers at CNN's Atlanta offices have been
shut down because of a computer worm, the Cable News Network said.

The worm is also affecting computers running Microsoft Corp.'s Windows
2000 at the New York Times newspaper and news network ABC in New York,
CNN said. It's unclear how widespread the problem is, CNN said. ABC is
owned by Walt Disney Co.

I have no worries. My stuff *stays* protected. I am rather surprised that
these major news outlets didn't learn their lesson waaaaaaaay back when the
"I Love You" bomb was loosed. In this day and age, if you don't adequately
control what goes through your firewall in either direction, you're just
being irresponsible...

Kevin Mitnick thinks people brought it into the affected intranets on
their notebook computers.
