It sounds like a free for all of competition between
companies as to who can name a new virus first - so
it is individuals who want to be unique. Have
you noticed that some computer geeks have a good
sense of humor? :)
Here is what the Washington Post said
"'Nobody is in charge'
For some, this regularly occurring confusion is starting to grate. A recent report submitted to the White House, "The National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace," called for more standardized methods of sharing information about security threats and criticized the confusion caused by conflicting names."
