Popping the Balloon of Hyperbole

Some company in the UK has come up with a massive dollar cost of the myDoom virus. Which put me onto a fabulous site I'm sorry I didn't find before. VMyths:

"Learn about com­puter virus myths, hoaxes, urban legends, hys­teria, and the impli­ca­tions if you be­lieve in them. You can also search a list of com­puter virus hoaxes & virus hys­teria from A to Z. "

I've long held a suspicion that interested parties are not backward in ramping up the supposed scale and impact of virus alerts, terrorist attacks on the Internet and other mass media hysteria. VMyths is all about popping the ballon of hyperpole, with plenty of sarcasm, wit and humour.
