A crude computer ``worm'' targeting flaws in Microsoft Windows mushroomed into a full-blown Internet attack Tuesday, affecting as many as 1.4 million computers worldwide, according to a leading government Internet security center.
The spread of the so-called MSBlaster or LoveSan worm appeared to be slowing later Tuesday, computer security experts said. But it had already left a wide swath of bewildered computer users in its path, crippling some companies and government agencies -- like the Maryland Department of Motor Vehicles, which was forced to close its doors at noon.
Mercy Sakes! A 13 year old can bring the world to a crawl!
