MICROSOFT WORKING WITH THE FEDS, VIRUS ATTACKS MAY BE TERRORISM
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/968431/posts

Evidence gathered by Microsoft, the FBI, and the Secret Service on the worldwide attacks made against the computers running the Windows operating system fits the profile of 'terrorist activity.'

Industry sources citing Mirosoft officials told World Tribune.com that the recent attacks from the 'Blaster' worm and its variants, coupled with an email virus called 'SoBig-F' show signs of a coordinated attack by an entity wanting to disrupt world commerce.

Microsoft is cooperating with both the FBI and the Secret Service and will report their findings in the next few days.
