Microsoft MyDoom Bounty

It's good to note that Microsoft has offered a $250,000 reward for the conviction of the originator(s) of the MyDoom worm. This is now regarded as the most damaging worm ever and setting a high bounty will hopefully route out these people.

I doubt whether anyone or any business has been spared from the attack and this will have caused incalcuable loss of time in just deleting detected messages. But of course the greatest disruption is for those people and businesses who did not have the detection software or, worse still, had protection but poorly understood procedures by staff who opened the attachments.
