A new Internet worm has emerged in China akin to the "Code Red" worm, which caused US$2.4 billion in estimated cleanup costs on Internet-linked computers last month, a computer security expert said on Friday.
The "Code Blue" worm has similarities with the Code Red worm, which caused widespread problems, said a worker at the police-run Computer Virus Treatment Center in Tianjin, about 54 miles from Beijing.
He said his office had no estimate of how many computers or servers had been infected with the new worm.
