We kept rereading Larry Blasko's piece regarding the MSBlast worm and the importance of applying patches because he seems to be lumping Apple Macintosh in with Windows PC's as if both platforms are somehow equally affected by the worm. We couldn't quite believe it or thought perhaps we were being paranoid. What do you think?
Blasko writes, "In this case, the virus-like worm is called LovSan, Msblast or Posa. You don't have to do anything in particular to get it, just be connected to the Internet. And it's supposed to be poised to strike Microsoft's software update Web site, crippling it, and probably the Internet, when hundreds of thousands of home computers all try to visit the site at once."
