  SQL Slammer Worm Spread Worldwide in 10 Minutes
Time: 01:02 EST/06:02 GMT | News Source: Reuters | Posted By: Robert Stein

It only took 10 minutes for the SQL Slammer worm to race across the globe and wreak havoc on the Internet two weeks ago, making it the fastest-spreading computer infection ever seen, researchers said on Tuesday. The worm, which nearly cut off Web access in South Korea (news - web sites) and shut down some U.S. bank teller machines, doubled the number of computers it infected every 8.5 seconds in the first minute of its appearance, said a computer security research group led by the Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis.
