Anti-Virus Firm Admits MyDoom Impact Exaggerated

from the say-what?!? dept

Last week we noted that anti-virus companies were putting out press releases including ridiculously high estimates for the amount of "damages" done by the myDoom virus - and refusing to give any info to back up the claims. Now, however, in a surprising move, another anti-virus firm, TruSecure is admitting that many exaggerated the impact of the virus, which they say really wasn't that big of a deal. They still say that the virus did plenty of damage, but suggest that the reactions from many overstated how much damage was really done.
