Yesterday, news agency Reuters found a digital worm called Kelvir had penetrated its Reuters Messaging system, which is closely linked with AOL’s Instant Messenger and Microsoft’s (Nasdaq: MSFT) MSN Messenger, according to News.com. Fears of the worm spreading to other systems forced Reuters to temporarily shut its messaging system down. The company told News.com that there's no timetable for bringing the messaging client back online.
