The Mydoom-M virus which was responsible for the on again off again problems for Google, Yahoo, Lycos and Altavista by using them to find email and domain addresses, was aparently the first part of a staged attack against microsoft.
Mydoom M left a back door which is rapidly being exploited by a secondary worm, named Zindos A, whose purpose is to launch a disdributed denial of service against microsoft.com
So, MS, one of the big "search" winners as a result of the temporary problems suffered by Google et al on Monday, is set to take an even bigger hit as a result.
I don't know if it's poetic justice , or what.
What I believe is that this is one of the most deeply thopught out DDOS attacks ever created.

It's a shame that we're all (mostly) smart/tech savvy enough here as to not ever open files called important document.txt ---space--- .exe :)
Maybe I should start posting an email address on forums to attract virus bots?
