I work for an organisation with around 60,000 employees and our intranet is still mostly unavailable this morning. Ditto mail servers. Luckily my browser and associated connectivity is working just fine

If it is MSBLAST causing this I sincerely hope somebody here gets toasted for not noticing what the whole world already knew a month ago.
