Anyone get hit with this yet? I got an e-mail from one of my tech boards(IaTN) the other day warning about it...apparently, their server got hit.

I been checking our 'puters, and so far, so good.....

I checked both my puters yesterday and no problem.  The article you referenced said it was mainly larger networks, etc. that would prolly be hit, so us little guys will be ok.   Thanks for the link, Joel.

The claim is that the culprits are lying low, knowing that April 1st was carefully being watched. The new idea is that they might release more havoc later. Microsoft offered $250,000.00 to anyone that provide information leading to the bad guys.........Joel, we're gonna git rich!

I'm sending and e-mail to Microsoft, and I'll tell the "Ebo did it!!"....hows that?
From what I unnerstood, it would mainly effect network systems that don't upgrade/update...like Government systems, health care systems, etc.
Then again...my 'puter stays so f-ed up I wouldn't know if there was a prollem anyway....
