Web site virus attack blunted--for now 06/25/2004 11:31 PM
“Netizens are no longer playing Russian Roulette each time they visit a Web site, security researchers say, now that a far-reaching Internet attack has been defanged. The attack, which had turned some Web sites into points of digital infection was nipped in the bud on Friday, when Internet engineers managed to shut down a Russian server that had been the source of malicious code for the attack. Compromised Web sites are still attempting to infect Web surfers’ PCs by referring them to the server in Russia, but that computer can no longer be reached. Still, Web surfers should still take care, as this type of attack is increasingly being used by the Internet underground as a way to get by network defenses and infect officer workers’ and home users’ computers. “

Virus continues spread, launches attack

Virus continues spread, launches attack 02/10/2004 02:47 AM

The MyDoom virus, which has been racing across the internet for the past week, continues to spread. As analysts had predicted, unremoved copies of the program began a distributed denial of service attack yesterday on the Web site for the SCO Group.

SCO has received attention for its high-profile campaign to win licensing fees from Linux users, whom, SCO argues, are using some code to which SCO claims patent ownership. The DoS attacks are coded to continue through February 12th. In the meantime, SCO has set up an alternative site .

However, the SCO attack might be a ruse, a misdirection, or only one component of a larger strategy: to set up distributed relays for sending spam .

A variant virus is also operating, and is coded to attack Microsoft's home page. Its infection rate has been minor, however.

Microsoft Creates Anti-Virus Bounty To

Microsoft Creates Anti-Virus Bounty To
Help Track Down Virus Writers 11/05/2003 10:59 AM
What do you if you're in an unchartered area with no reasonable law enforcement, and criminals are running rampant? You convince everyone to become the "enforcement" arm and find someone rich enough to pay them to help fight crime. Microsoft can't be bothered to fix a few of the holes in their programs that make it incredibly easy to pass on viruses, so instead, they're setting aside $5 million for anti-virus bounty hunters who can track down anyone responsible for worms, trojan horses or viruses. The rewards will be given out in $250,000 wads of cash from Bill Gates wallet increments. So, now, who's going to round up an anti-virus posse?
