Is it just media that it's hitting or do I need to be looking out.

Why Windows 2000 PCs only?

If only!

I think it would be great that they have fallen by means of alqaueda/communist china cyber attack.

Supposedly Win2000 and older (being CNN, they may or may not mean to be including WinNT, who knows). Just a quirk of the worm, I guess.

There's a particular security hole that the worm is exploiting that only appears on unpatched Windows 2000 systems. Microsoft has had a fix available for it for the past couple of weeks, but not everyone's gotten around to installing it.

CNN; It is Zotob. FASTWEST WORM IN HISTORY of its type.

CNN scrambling to air Lou Dobbs at 6 because all NYC bureau PCs are down. Ha ha!

WABC is down.

Some places having problems since 1:30 pm EDT.

Just another reason to avoid msn.com. Perhaps that site is infected with a very nasty worm. I avoid going back to log onto Microsoft whenever they capture my web browser. Sure way to cause a system crash.
