Rampant E-Mail Virus Traced to Russia

[CHIMO]

Using location-sensing software, Kaspersky Labs has traced the first e-mails infected with MyDoom back to addresses with Russian Internet providers.

"This virus can only be compared to chemical warfare, an indiscriminate weapon of mass destruction," said Mikhail Yakushev, a legal adviser for Microsoft in Russia.

"Russia usually does better fighting e-mail viruses than the United States because systems administrators are generally more competent here and install protection quicker," Zenkov said.

Typical M$ hyperbole. If their OS and IE didn't suck, there wouldn't be so many problems. Frigging a$$holes.
