I'm glad I have never witnessed such a tragedy, although, unfortunately, many others have...

I think back then viruses didn't care much about the money, because Antivirus software were young and free :)

My old antivirus was Dr Solomon :p

I think Sasser was the best disruptor for an average user.

Computer viruses before are definitely an instrument for such terrible attack, its been well planned and organized to link in such state where many people have mediocre knowledge in computer. + in the sense internet connectivity are not well active and cannot afford better speed.

Now, computer viruses may act the same way but with money involved hence sometimes it can use for corruption.
