UPDATE: MSM PCs under attack - CNN, NYT, ABCNEWS - It's not Zotob; spreading fast! Update virus defs NOW!
Live on CNN right now ... Most PCs running Win2000 or older are now dead at MSM locations all over NYC, as well as some PCs at CNN Atlanta, and it's spreading.
Suspecting Zotob, but not 100% certain.

Yup, same here. As for those hit. I wonder how many IT guys are going to be asking the Accountants: "Do you still think it's cost effective to keep outdated technology?" In a day or 2 when they figure out how much money was lost.

WLS radio in Chicago is also down. Listeners had to go online so the hosts could get info from the website.

Zotob is a dog from what I've read.
And I can't find this on CNN, Fox or the AP wire.

That's not a good sign. If you have an anti-virus program, get the latest definitions and run the anti-virus program.
