Nearly all of the damage done to data by this virus will be done by end users panicking.
There will definitely be some traffic from this worm this evening. But I don't think there will be the widespread damage that's predicted. I could be wrong. But I don't think we're going to see anything like we've heard about.
I hesitate to go out on a limb on a virus like this. I don't know if there will be damage on Friday.
