It looks like there's a malicious script going around on IRC called
wtc.txt.vbs, haven't seen it myself but it's proppably some lame rename of
the lifestages.txt.vbs done by some script-kiddie that wants to look smart.

As a Canadian, not directly influenced or affected by this attack, I feel
that American based crackers will not be stupid enough to unleash something
on an already fragile American public, and I think that foreign ones will be
equally wise. A country that has had their landmarks attacked, their chief
commerce market's distrupted, will not stand for some little puke trying to
infect their computers. This is not to say that someone like the sick prick
that who tried to sell the World Trade Center on eBay shortly after the
attack, will not unleash a virus that masks itself as, say, a short video
file or commentary on the attack, but I think that person woiuld regret it
just like the perp's of the attack themselves will.
