MyDoom.C Making Its Way Across The Net

Posted by timothy on from the funny-it-isn't-affecting-me dept.

Iphtashu Fitz writes "eWeek is reporting that the latest variant of MyDoom is now making its way across the internet and may have been responsible for some disruptions to Microsofts website over the weekend. This new variant apparently doesn't spread via e-mail but instead scans for machines with an open TCP port 3127. This version appears to be a very stripped down version of its earlier cousins since it also doesn't leave a backdoor into infected machines nor does it have a shutoff date for when to stop attacking Microsoft." Reader billstewart adds links to reports at Australia's ABC News and carried by Reuters; Unloaded adds a link to CNET's coverage.

  11. The Virus We Need..... by simetra · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I've said this before and will say it again.

    The virus we need is one that changes the wallpaper on a Windows(tm) machine to a big crotch shot. It can't be that hard, maybe a simple registry key, or an ini file modification.

    In light of the recent Janet Jackson breast fiasco, I think you'll agree that Jane and Joe Jackass End User need a little more exposure to such things so they won't get their knickers in a knot over such silly crap.

    Thanks.

    If Linux were widely adopted on the desktop you'd expect it to at least be able to unzip/tar files by double-clicking them.
