[quote=Frazen]^ The worm didn't really hack the pentagon. If I'm not mistaken the pentagon was force to shut down their servers because they were afraid that they get infected to it . I'm not sure but I've heard not only the pentagon also the CSI was force to shut down. It was to late that the world declares state of emergency, 10% of all internet user were already infected to it and that time the only way they knew to stop it from spreading was to keep reminding the people not to open suspicious mails. but just matter of time a man from Singapore i think, made a program to recover those damage files and restore it back. The title of the worm was also big factor why it spread so fast. who would suspect a mail saying that "i love you"? of course people would be fooled and open it thinking that someone really loves them. after clicking that attached file, bingo you're now victim of the great ILOVEYOU virus. after infecting the account, the worm automatically replicates itself and send another copy to all the addresses n the contact list of the said infected account. wow what a brilliant idea! But this kind of trick won't work now a days, almost all mail sites have their own anti-virus installed.[/quote] ^Is that so? Ok thanks for clarifying that. My mom just told me about the Pentagon thing all the rest were actually true. Our old windows 98 computer had that ILOVEYOU virus too but I just ignored it. Your right, he was brilliant for putting ILOVEYOU as the attached file. Who would have known such an innocent word would spread out to such great lengths.
