According to safety experts on Symantec Antivirus software company the creators of the superworm Downadup (Conficker.c) failed doing any damage yesterday. I wrote about the Conficker worm about a month ago.
Several online security experts has warned about the built in attack plan the worm carried. A plan that was supposed to start yesterdan, April 1st.
A major reason for the failure is supposed to be the media attention the worm got.
Perhaps our article here at Online Security Guide helped 
Until next time
