Conficker Worm Hasn't Gone Away, Akamai Says
,----[ Quote ]
| Variants of the Conficker worm were still
| active and spreading during the third quarter,
| accounting for much of attack traffic on the
| Internet, according to Akamai Technologies.
|
| "Although mainstream and industry media
| coverage of the Conficker worm and its
| variants has dropped significantly since
| peaking in the second quarter, it is clear
| from this data that the worm (and its
| variants) is apparently still quite active,
| searching out new systems to infect," Akamai
| said in its State of the Internet report for
| the third quarter of 2009, released Thursday.

Worm Infections Explode Thanks to Conficker and Taterf
,----[ Quote ]
| The volume of worm infections exploded in
| the first half of 2009, compared with the
| second half of 2008, according to
| Microsoft. In volume seven of the Microsoft
| Security Intelligence Report (SIRv7), the
| Redmond company indicates that Conficker
| and Taterf have made worm infections second
| only to those caused by miscellaneous
| Trojans. According to the software giant,
| worms such as Conficker and Taterf are
| designed to exploit unsecured file shares,
| as well as infect removable storage
| devices, while spreading from one machine
| to another. Microsoft warned that, unlike
| home users, enterprise IT environments were
| more exposed to the threat presented by
| worms because of unsecured file shares and
| removable storage.
