attack ever to&gt;&gt; hit the Internet, costing businesses and computer users around the world&gt;&gt; in excess of $1 
billion in lost productivity and damage,” said Darl&gt;&gt; McBride&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; now does that sound a little 
excessive to anyone else?&gt;Not any more excessive than "millions of lines of stolen code".-- 
The MyDoom author should be an asset to any security company fighting this kind of attacks. Or maybe he already is. I 
would not hesitate employing him to do the analysis and synthesis of the obvious 3G vulnerabilities built into UMTS, 
etc. Approaching 1 billion cell phone users there will be a new risk landscape - much more demanding than the current 
one. Any time,Lennart Damm+46 73 632-4001
