The Pentagon, CIA, and the British Parliament had to shut down their e-mail systems to get rid of the virus, as did most large corporations.
But want to know the source code-program written- of this virus. Find interest in the code below. I print, scan it and save to jpeg format so as not to pose any danger in ur pc.
Written using VBS (thanks to microsoft..waah).. Java Virtual Machine i think more secured. The source code.

This is for educational purposes only, just to show how easy it is to write a program that have so much destructive power then. 4 pages of code could results billions in losses.
