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.

    Remember folks - if you work for any large organisation, your external firewall will ONLY protect you as long as some freaking idiot doesn't bring an infected laptop in.

    In Soviet Russia, YOU protect the firewall.
