New Microsoft Worm Coming Soon?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the get-ready-for-impact dept.

Seft sent in a solid article running on the BBC discussing the next potential worm explosion on the heels of a recent Security Bulletin from Microsoft. The article is a somewhat general topic piece on worms in general.

    I have written a worm that exploits a critical hole in dpkg. If you do not mod this up I will release it. Serves you right for using out of date software! (Even Unstable is obsolete), you can backport all you like, but you can't polish a turd.

    right, the article is about the likelihood a new MS worm is on the way, so I post a silly comment that underscores the ubiquity of such a topic, and I'm modded as a troll.

    Cuz you are all SO fucking l33t! Actually, your a bunch of 20 year old virgins living in your Mom's basement. Real computer professionals write code that people will actually pay money for (read: Windows software).

    Grow the fuck up.

    The countdown to the next Windows web worm outbreak has begun.
    Malicious hackers are starting to circulate computer
    code that exploits recently found vulnerabilities in
    some versions of Microsoft's Windows operating system.

    The MSBlast or Lovsan worm spread fast by exploiting the way that some versions of Microsoft
    Windows allow computers to talk to each other across the net.
    The vulnerability that it exploited was discovered about 30 days before the first worm appeared.
    But viruses that take advantage of new found flaws in the chunk of computer code exploited by MSBlast look set to arrive even sooner.
    Security experts say malicious hackers
    and virus writers are already swappingcomputer code designed to slip through the new vulnerabilities.

    Forget the fact that I'm a karmawhoring fag, I want karma because I'm fucking leet!

    Is it too much to ask for an "editor" can spell?

    Use Linux on a Mac... far away from any silly virus. Too bad I have to work on Windows PC's all day, so I'll have to deal with ID=10T people that click "Canel" when the Auto Update windows comes up to patch their crappy OS. Just ranting.
