Conficker worm sinks French navy network

The Conficker worm is a highly dangerous worm spreading through USB sticks or cameras when connected to a PC. A recent victim was the French navy, see this report. The Houston justice system was infected, computers at three London hospitals were infected. It is estimated that by the end of January 10 Million Windows PCs were infected. Conficker could possibly be activated at some point in the future to wreak havoc.
