"While Internet users and corporations dig out from the havoc caused by the new W32.Blaster Internet worm, security experts are questioning whether a massive denial of service attack from infected machines, scheduled for Saturday, will succeed."

"The machines will begin their attack at 12:00 a.m. local time, with each infected computer judging the time by consulting its system clock... That will create a cascading attack that will cross the globe as clocks in each time zone roll over to the new day... Once launched, the attack will continue, unabated, through the end of December, then begin again on January 16, 2004..."
