I'm not sure how this was supposedly the fastest spreading worm in history, considering what I read from <a href="http://news.zdnet.co.uk/internet/security/0,39020375,39214094,00.htm" rel="nofollow"><strong>this story</strong></a>. Typical overhype for the media, perhaps? Hi Mark – as far as I know, none of the offices for the company I work for were affected, either.

I would like to take exception with "the fastest propagating worm in history". How are they measuring "fastest" - the most people? Hardly. the most widely distributed, again everything about equal. Microsoft still says this is propagating "slowly" because it can only affect perhaps 20% of the computers out there (if they are unpatched). I suspect it's so "henious" a worm because it attacked major news organizations. When you get ABC and CNN inconvenienced, you'll get called names.
