The derailment and subsequent fire severed cables running through the tunnel used by seven of the biggest net service providers to swap data. These companies started reporting disruption to the usual running of the net just as Code Red was hitting its stride, leading many people to assume that the worm was doing the damage. endquote: Cede Rod Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Entire Thread Subject Posted By Posted "Code Red" internet virus AnnaStrophic 07/31/2001 5:04 PM Re: "Code Red" internet virus musick 07/31/2001 5:09 PM Re: "Code Red" internet virus AnnaStrophic 07/31/2001 5:20 PM Re: "Code Red" internet virus wwh 07/31/2001 6:19 PM Re: "Code Red" internet virus Faldage 07/31/2001 5:12 PM Re: "Code Red" internet virus Jazzoctopus 07/31/2001 7:26 PM Re: "Code Red" internet virus Bingley 08/01/2001 4:53 AM Max Quordlepleen 08/01/2001 5:11 AM Re: "Code Red" internet virus Bingley 08/01/2001 6:53 AM Looks like everything's OK AnnaStrophic 08/01/2001 10:01 AM Re: Looks like everything's OK rodward 08/02/2001 2:37 PM Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
