Internet experts say that the frightening red team computer worm virus continues to spread on the Internet. But so far, electronic worms, regarded as a threat to global network traffic, seem to have little impact.
Since the "red team" error was released early on Wednesday, there have been no reports of network traffic interruption. But experts warn that the threat may be far from over. "So far, I haven't said anything that we think is unusual, but we will definitely say it ... but the FBI says that the red team worm is still spreading, which may infect Internet sites and cause significant interference to the traffic on the World Wide Web," said Bill Jones, a spokesman for Keynote Systems in California, which helps enterprises to conduct e-commerce. .
"I think this worm may not have completed its mission. I think this is a geometric series, because it infects machines, and they infect other machines, so as time goes on, you have the opportunity to see the speed decrease. I think it is unrealistic to expect what will happen immediately at 0: 00 UTC on Wednesday, but in the next 24 hours and days, we will definitely see an economic slowdown. "
Last month, the worm attacked more than 350,000 computer systems running Microsoft operating system, including the White House website, and prompted the Pentagon to shut down the website. However, it seems that the preventive advice given by the FBI and the leaders of the internet industry to Internet users has received results. So far, more than one million people have downloaded a so-called patch from the Microsoft website, which can prevent computers from being infected.
