I would agree those people may have been severely affected. But 350,000 hosts isn't that big of a number any more. The Morris Internet WormThat's 350K hosts that got infected *that we know about*. I'd not be surprised if a lot of other hosts got infected during the 9 hours CRv2 was on its burn stage that didn't happen to ping any of the sensor boxes used to identify infected hosts.
Do "we" have any information how many out here at the edges (besides the.mil folk) disconnected while the cleanup was going on? We dint, but small pockets that we supply did. Alos, is it possible that the critter got through firewalls and "did harm", but could not get back out again? I don't know of any cases like that. -- -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- . . - L. F. (Larry) Sheldon, Jr. - .
