May 4 2000 - One Hilarious Day in Corporate America
The "I Love You" computer worm rampages through Internet email systems, inflicting damages somewhere in the $2-to-$15 billion range. The worm spreads by exploiting design flaws in the Microsoft Outlook mail client and also the gullibility of your typical computer user. A variety of Filipino suspects is ultimately narrowed down to an AMA Computer College student from Manila.




Lots of shits and giggles. i remember it fondly.

9. Ah, memories....
I was working as a web developer/webmaster for a small knowledge management company, with 200 users and a desktop support staff of three. Because I "knew something" about computers, I got roped into inoculating 50 desktops-- an area I have little or no expertise in.

At least it convinced me that I hated desktop support but loved web stuff.
