It was in the news last night that this is affecting all internet
transactions and also ATM transactions. Here is a link. I am surprised that
it did not make it big in the news. Korea and Japan were especially hard
hit. Probably because the IT staff did not maintain their servers with
software updates as regularly as they should. The worm exploited a known
fault of the MS server software that was reported last summer and a fix was
available.

Dear Thong:
    Does this worm have anything to do with the extreme slow speed on the
web lately?  I noticed a much slower than normal speed of various activities
when I am surfing the web.

Our Te^'t videoconference could not take off due to technical difficulties.
My first thought was to blame Yahoo Messenger 5.5, a supposed improvement
over the old YM that we used last year with about the same number of
participants. However watching the news tonight I learned that since last
night a vicious worm has been circling the globe in the internet servers and
was causing traffic congestion. This may explain why we could not maintain a
good voice channel.
So, I am guilty of a hasty verdict with respect to Yahoo Messenger.
Thanks to all the participants: LTVu, NTChi, VhViet, NTTu, NHLe, LVADung,
LUThanh
