Experts: Vicious worm 'Linux war' weapon : "A sneaky e-mail worm continued to clog Internet traffic Tuesday, spreading faster than previous Web bugs by appearing as an innocuous error message. "

We received quite a few infected e-mails here at work, and I'd say the "1 out of 12" infection rate is pretty accurate. No one infected themselves, though, so we're cool. It's interesting that they're now saying that the code was specifically written as a malicious attack on SCO UNIX by a Linux fan, heating up the Linux war. If only all wars could be fought this way, huh?
