...mails moving across the Internet—one out of every 12 e-mails processed—according to the e-mail-filtering firm MessageLabs. The virus launched a vengeance Denial of Service attack against the SCO Group, a company that has claimed ownership of some of the code used in open-source Linux distributions.

But SCO just changed its domain name temporarily and avoided the Mydoom-mediated wrath of its pro-open...
...found on systems it infected. The war had begun, and l33t h4x0Rs on both sides struck back in the only way they could: “Hey, NetSky, fuck off you bitch, don’t ruine our bussiness, wanna start a war?” read the internal code of a new Bagle variant...

...cards, he and IBM engineer Franco Motika set about developing a new generation of smart cards. The recently patented, theftproof card contains a computer chip and features a tiny numerical keypad right on its face. The cardholder inputs a PIN, stored directly in the card's circuitry; the same code must be entered before each use. The PIN turns the card on and generates a unique one-time-only transaction code. For approval, that code has to synch with an algorithm run by the credit-card company's computer. The smart card isn't on the market...
