Malware may knock thousands off Internet on Monday July 9 2012.
« on: July 08, 2012, 06:12:05 PM »

Despite repeated alerts, the number of computers that probably are infected is more than 277,000 worldwide, down from about 360,000 in April. Of those still infected, the FBI believes that about 64,000 are in the United States

The problem began when international hackers ran an online advertising scam to take control of more than 570,000 infected computers around the world. When the FBI went in to take down the hackers late last year, agents realized that if they turned off the malicious servers being used to control the computers, all the victims would lose their Internet service.

But that temporary system will be shut down at 12:01 a.m. EDT Monday, July 9.

To check whether a computer is infected, users can visit a website run by the group brought in by the FBI: http://www.dcwg.org .

It's 12 AM EDT. So, mamaya pang 12PM dito sa Pilipinas. Parang overhyped to sa Mainstream media, but not on Tech-oriented sites.
