Self-replicating virus attacks MCI
Network attacked by code that mimics human administrator
Now how difficult is it to create a program that is smarter than a human who selects a borg virus for network servers.

Dec. 21 — The computer network of MCI Worldcom was broadly
attacked last week by a new virus that one official called “the
first legitimate incident of cyber-terrorism” he had ever seen.
The virus, called Remote Explorer, pretends to be a network
administrator and can spread without human help. That makes
it more dangerous than traditional viruses requiring infected
e-mail or a floppy disk for transmission.
