Has anyone seen, or does anyone anticipate any security threats on the
Internet or Internet-based attacks on any given targets in connection
with this mornings terroristic attacks on the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon?

I hadn't considered the possibility, assuming that parties that would
fly planes into buildings aren't likely to be interested in writing
viruses. We did have one customer voluntarily disable their Internet
connection for the next 24-hours out of concern for "viruses". They said
something about a warning from the FBI. The FBI's website is apparantly
unreachable (or overloaded) at the moment.
