    Saw this news report today on the BBC:

    Computer virus affects hospitals http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7735502.stm

    Doesn't identify the virus. Strangely the Hospital is quoted as saying the virus was "not malicious" Eh? A non-malicious virus that causes your computer systems to have to be taken off line, causing ambulances to be diverted?

    Twas a shame... hospital is not far from here actually. I did offer them my services in getting back online, and perhaps a new security setup :p
