 TS> I just read an article in /Risks/ /Digest/ that today is the day (16
 TS> August) that the "Blaster" worm is to inundate the Microsoft update
 TS> site.

 TS> Anyone want to watch and tell us here what actually happens?

Does anyone have damage estimates? I mean monetary, what are we talking
about here? Becouse it shut down 70 bank offices that used XP for a day here
in Finland and other companies had problems too. It even gave us a run and
we dont have many XP machines.

What about that "Anti-Blaster" worm?

And I heard that Blaster attacks on the 16th of every month, so does Windows
Update just close once a month? ;)

But that sobif.F is a bad one too. Damages?

Bit out of the loop here, please fill me in?
