It was "real", alright, but it was not what CNN reported it to be!
They reported it as if it was some horrible virus that could affect
anybody.
Never did they mention that it was simply a Windows script that
*only* affects Windows users, and among those Windows users
only those that use Microsoft Outlook, and among those only those
who are stupid enough to leave the automatic execution function on.
In other words, NOBODY with even a glimpse of computer
common sense was affected.
This, CNN did not report.
Is false reporting preferrable to no reporting? Your call.
