[plug] MyDoom virus/worm

[senectus]

Yupp.

I was glad to see the story on www.slashdot.org this morning about how the
DDOS doesn't seem to work, plus the virus came from Russia and no one
believes it was a linux advocate that made it.. they seem to think it was
more "profit"...

 We all have heard about it recently, but I was reading an article in the
age :
http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/01/28/1075088091365.html?from=top5
 
 What concerns me, not only in this article but on other various media
reports, is the somewhat 'association' with this worm and the 'dispute'
between the Linux community and SCO Group, the apparent target of a DOS
attack.  I don't think I am paranoid about this, but to me the wording of
such articles could lead a reader to make the assumption that the virus was
designed specifically by the linux community to attack SCO.
 
 Do others on the list get the same vibe ? 
 
 Cheers
