Computer security experts are trying to trace the origin of the latest virus attack on the international information highways of the Internet. The new computer virus, referred to as a 'computer worm,' has slowed down the flow of information through the global Internet since the day before yesterday. Asian countries, especially South Korea, have been the most affected. The disruptive effects of this virus were still evident today, and despite efforts to prevent it, computer networks in Europe, Asia, and America have been infected. A report in the Washington Post indicates that experts have observed signs of a Chinese computer disruptor operating either in mainland China or Hong Kong. However, the 'Computer Emergency Response Team' in Hong Kong, established by the government, states that there is no evidence to suggest that the computer worm originated from Hong Kong.
