RE: UKNM: Love bug bust

[Lee Bryant]

Speaking as somebody whose company was hit, but recovered well with no

permanent damage, I suggest that we all chip in to bail the guy/gal out. We

have never had such a valuable lesson in M$ coding, plus a live firing

exercise in disaster recovery.


Not that I condone irresponsible behaviour such as this, ... but .... what a

cool virus !! It was a masterpiece of psychology, crisp, understated coding

and simplicity. We could all learn a lesson or two from this one ....

especially BOO.COM (couldn't resist!)

So, how many years should the culprits get? 45 million computers brought

down, $10 billion worth of damage, anyone care to bid? Or should it all be

taken as just a big joke?
