"We are aware of a global virus for which there are some public alerts," said Bryan Whitman, Pentagon spokesman. "And we've seen some of this on our networks. We're taking steps to identify and mitigate the virus." Thomas J. Raef www.ebasedsecurity.com www.wewatchyourwebsite.com "We Watch Your Website because - you don't"
