I was shocked on August 19, 2003, when SoBigF began to show up on my corporate network.

I actually saw the thing before Symantec had posted def's for its detection. And this scares the heck out of me.

The false impression of being safe and secure in Anti-Virus software was manifested last week. The fact that a bug could spread prior to def's being updated on a corporate network is a big bad wolf, huffing and puffing getting ready to blow the houses down.

I work in a straw house, I recommend you build brick houses.

Alright -- if this is true, then where were those 20 machines? Who owned/maintained them?
