Confictor Worm
« on: March 29, 2009, 02:59:42 PM »
Anyone heard of this? It's suppose to attack on April 1. Now I know that's April Fools day but an article in the local newspaper said It's legitimate.

I've been following this one rather closely (it's my job).  It's not supposed to attack, but it is changing its behavior on April 1.  The way it does its domain lookups changes, as well as a few other things.  Oh, it's "Conficker".

They did a nice piece covering it last night on 60 Minutes.  Go to the CBS site and watch a replay of it...here's the link to the vid:  http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4901282n
Here's another write-up covering it:  http://billpstudios.blogspot.com/2009/03/conficker-judgement-day-on-april-1st.html

Damn, wish I knew who made it, $250,000 reward from Microsoft for it.
