- Central Command announces the discovery of "Worm/MyDoom". This
new aggressive Internet worm is spreading globally with heavy concentrations
initially in the United States and Europe. "We're seeing fast spreading
malicious worms being released one after another today," said Steven
Sundermeier, Vice President of Products and Services at Central Command, Inc.
"Unfortunately, initial reports of Worm/MyDoom have already surpassed
the other new releases in a matter of minutes. The alarming rate of
submissions closely mimics that of later variants of Worm/Sobig.F. This has
all the characteristics of being the next big one."
