New Virus Scaring Everyone
from the run-and-hide dept
A ton of hype and press coverage of this new scary virus that rifles through your address book and sends porn sites to everyone you know, and then goes through their adress book, and continues on. I fear the hype on this one. It's a little too much. As usual, the Virus Myths page is downplaying this as not nearly as big as everyone says. He's been right so many times before, that I tend to believe him.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
