[link\|http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/sobig_f.shtml\|http://www.f-secure....scs/sobig_f.shtml] Update on 18:20 UTC Unfortunately one server is up right now after all. And one might be enough for the attack to start succesfully. In that final hour, when each breath is a struggle to take, and you are looking back over your life's accomplishments, which memories would you treasure? The empires you built, or the joy you spread to others? Therin lies the true measure of a man.

Update on 19:00 UTC When deadline for the attack was passed, one machine was still (somewhat) up. However, immediately after the deadline, this machine (located in the USA) was totally swamped under network traffic. We've tried connecting to it, just like the virus does. We do this from three different sensors from three different machines in three different countries. We haven't been able to connect to it once. If we can't connect, neither can the viruses. So the attack failed. Whoa. We'll keep monitoring until 22:00 UTC. If we're not able to connect once, we can safely say that the attack was prevented. Update on 19:50 UTC Still not a single connection from any of our sensors to any of the servers. hmm..so who's behind it? Organized Crime? Or cash-starved anti-virus companies.

Specifically the description of an unfertilized human ovum being utterly obliterated by millions of kryptonian-powered sperm. In that final hour, when each breath is a struggle to take, and you are looking back over your life's accomplishments, which memories would you treasure? The empires you built, or the joy you spread to others? Therin lies the true measure of a man.
