MyDoom Worm; Update for Reporters from Keynote, 1/28/04

The Internet dealt admirably today with the effects of email traffic generated by the MyDoom worm. Overall, Internet performance remained in the range of normal the entire day (1/28) based on the Keynote Business 40 Internet Performance Index, the leading indicator of overall Internet health.

Keynote will be sending daily email updates through Friday.

Keynote will be closely observing the Internet's performance and how it deals with the MyDoom "payload" triggered to take effect any time beginning on Super Bowl Sunday (February 1) and continuing for 12 days.

We will send out two updates on Sunday (one in the morning and one in the evening, pacific time).
