[RTC List] 60 Minutes story: The Internet is Infected

[William Van Hefner]

Did ANYONE out there ever encounter this supposedly killer April 1st
virus? I haven't gone through my mail server antivirus logs, but it sounds
like yet another virus where more harm was done through the lost
productivity and lost bandwidth associated with getting all excited about
it than could have possibly resulted from any actual harm that the virus
might have done. I wonder if 60 minutes ever tried researching how much
time/money was wasted as a result of virus hysteria? I'm guessing that
probably wouldn't help them in the ratings as much as scaring people
though.
