File-Destroying Worm Causes Little Damage

An AP newswire article by Anick Jesdanun, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

A file-destroying computer worm set to activate Friday caused relatively little damage during the business day in Asia and Europe, security experts said.

Hundreds of thousands of computers were believed to be infected, but many companies and individuals had time to clean up their machines this week after security vendors and media outlets warned of the "Kama Sutra" worm.

"It's been pretty quiet," said Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer for Finnish security company F-Secure Corp. "We know the word is out there."
