Reports said Conficker C would do damage, but nobody anticipated it would be this bad! The Conficker C virus, which was knowingly scheduled to create havoc on April 1, has wormed its way into VeriSign’s root servers  – erasing hundreds of thousands of .com and .net registration records.

“We have never seen anything like this before,” said a VeriSign Spokesperson. “We have a number of security measures in place to prevent such a thing, but nothing could have prepared us for what Conficker C has done. We are still investigating the situation and confident that we will be able to eventually re-gain the registration data from our backup data facilities on the Cocos Islands and Tuvalu, but there are a number of preventative measures we must first complete to ensure that information does not get corrupted as well.”
