Please note that Caterpillar Inc. was a target of the latest computer worm, in addition to Capitol Hill and several media organizations: Worm strikes down Windows 2000 systems.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — A fast-moving computer worm Tuesday attacked computer systems using Microsoft operating systems, shutting down computers in the United States, Germany and Asia.Among those hit were offices on Capitol Hill, which is in the midst of August recess, and media organizations, including CNN, ABC and The New York Times. Caterpillar Inc., in Peoria, Illinois, reportedly also had problems.

I wonder who might want to attack Caterpillar?
