Renegade334 writes "Months after the last attack of MyDoom, MyDoom.AI returns. Like usual it was spread by e-mails with claims to have attachments that contain passwords for adult websites."

The clients that are affected will not dare to tell me.
Where? Which ones? How do we get them?
If you don't know what AltaVista is (was), get off my lawn.
When will virus writers learn that they can't spread malware that way. Nobody in this day and age is stupid enough to click on an attachment claiming to have XXX-site passwords. I mean c'mon, who is stupid enough to fall for that?

I think those who get affected actually deserve to be affected - mostly, they are the ones who keep on spreading those "forward this to 10 ppl in 10 seconds or you will throw third nipple". Give 'em more.
Passwords for adult websites? Yay!!
Oh, if only I knew how to open email attachments!
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither safety nor liberty.

It's being reported [zdnet.co.uk] that thanks to pro-active action from the porn site in question, the problem is under control...

Excellent sig. Did you choose it just for this story?
Eat that, Duke Nukem Forever!!
Where can I download this new MyDoom thingy?

Porn to the rescue, yet again! We have that industry to thanks for many things: rapidly accelerating the advance and acceptance of new media technologies, keeping First Amendment lawyers employed, and giving sorority girls a shot at fame during Spring Break, to name a few.
Do the passwords work?
I started with nothing and I still have most of it.
remember how God used to smite masturbators?

Way to go guys. I guess it is all about how you report it.
What would you like us to write as your farewell statement in this weeks newsletter? Wpiman leaves us after faithfully working for us for x number of years as our professional slashdot reader... -The Head of IT.
I'm continually amazed by how quickly people turn their brains off when "free pussy" is in the air..
You mean like this one? :)
Proudly supporting the Libertarian Party.
will probably have links to provocative pictures of Bill Gates posing with computers.
The virus will fail miserably.
Apple is hiring young hackers to develop more of these new "sales-promoters" to increase the sales of the new Mac mini.
Believe me, OSX and Linux have more than their share of stupid users.
They post here on slashdot all the time. They tell you silly shit like iPods make great external hard drives, and work well as backup devices.
They talk about using Gentoo as a backend server, because all you have to do is put "emerge sync && emerge -u world" in your crontab and nothing will ever go wrong, and the -funroll-loops in your CFLAGS will make it unga bunga faster.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!

Sure, a baseball bat. Beat the dummy who downloads spyware to death. For a trial version, try a plastic bat, so they'll just go Ouch!

Porn is like God: it helps those who help themselves.
Sheesh, evil *and* a jerk. -- Jade
we exchange secret-admin handshakes and have a beer with lunch whenever the latest virus comes out.
damn, you must be an alcoholic by now.
And then of course there's the Coupling (British relationship comedy -- think Friends, but smarter and funny) version -- 'One swallow does not a relationship make.'
