MS05-039 Worm in the Wild

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the brace-for-impact dept.

An anonymous reader noted that SANS is reporting that the MS05-039 worm is in the wild. It has been named Zotob.A. Not a lot of information on this one yet except that it's trying to FTP files from a subnet.

    Which is why we're at this moment here at work patching all servers manually. Good thing it also means a sunday bonus. :-)

    Personally my hobbies include martial arts and power lifting. Another good systems guy I know is an expert martial artist. I say we get five minutes locked in a small concrete room with Mr. Worm Creator and see how much fucking fun he has while he's getting an ass beating.

    Having some difficulties understanding the self-control aspects of the martial arts, are you?
