WTC.exe, also known as the Vote Virus, attempts to delete all files on an infected hard drive before mass-mailing itself to all addresses on an Outlook address book. It also defaces all Web pages hosted by an infected machine and attempts to download a backdoor and reformat the system. Those attempts have been unsuccessful to date and the virus is not spreading quickly. Experts also believe that it is not related to the terrorist attack, despite the subject line and text that accompanies the infected attachment.

As Internet startups go belly up, laid off employees are bellying up to the spoils. More and more disillusioned workers are stealing stuff -- looting laptops, heisting handhelds, mooching monitors, pilfering printers and filching furniture like they were consolation prizes. Insurance companies and security experts nationwide say employee theft is on the rise, especially in the technology industry. The "you lay me off, I'll rip you off" mentality isn't really even hurting its intended targets. Asset-management companies, furniture leasing companies and other firms that loaned the failed companies their equipment are the ones smarting from the stealing.
