What virus is about today?

Apparently ParcelForce have had a complete shutdown of their systems due to a virus which is "affecting other business' as well". News to me - I haven't seen any notes on any of the news sites I look at.

Hmmm, an 8 day release to deployment delay on critical patches is a bit rubbish really. Parcel Force are almost inviting trouble leaving it that long.
