âSecurity experts are calling Mydoom the largest virus attack ever to hit the Internet, costing businesses and computer users around the world in excess of $1 billion in lost productivity and damage,â said Darl McBride now does that sound a little excessive to anyone else?
If you assume there's 200 million people who got sent a copy of either the virus or the A/V spam replies, and that people make an average of $10/hour, if they spent an average of 30 minutes cleaning the crap out of their mailboxes, or waiting for an e-mail with important info to clear through a server, or anything else in the way of inconvenience, they're up to a billion right there. Doesn't sound excessive to me.
