Will MyDoom-B bring down Microsoft's website? Sophos comments

Feb 2, 2004 1:50AM PST

Virus experts at Sophos think it is unlikely that Microsoft's website will suffer a successful denial of service attack from the W32/MyDoom-B worm.

The MyDoom-B worm is set to launch a denial of service attack at 13:09 UTC on 3 February. However, Sophos has received very few reports of actual infected computers. This compares with the high number of reports of the worm's predecessor, W32/MyDoom-A, which launched an attack which has blasted SCO's website off the internet.
