11 Reviews. From the bestselling author of Black Hawk Down, the gripping story of the Conficker. Overview. The Conficker worm infected its first computer in November and within a month had infiltrated million computers in countries. Banks, telecommunications companies, and critical government networks (including the British Parliament and the French and German military) were infected. No one had ever seen anything like it.
