Korean DDoS Bots To Self-Destruct
tsu doh nimh writes "Several news sources are reporting that the tens of thousands of Microsoft Windows systems infected with the Mydoom worm and being used in an ongoing denial of service attack against US and S. Korean government Web sites will likely have their hard drives wiped of data come Friday. From The Washington Post's Security Fix blog, the malware is 'designed to download a payload from a set of Web servers. Included in that payload is a Trojan horse program that overwrites the data on the hard drive with a message that reads "memory of the independence day," followed by as many "u" characters as it takes to write over every sector of every physical drive attached to the compromised system.' ChannelNews Asia
carries similar information."
When the infected idiots wake up tomorrow and find that their hard drive was wiped, they'll go out and buy a new computer, and throw their old ones on the curb. And since I need some new parts for my machine...
I'm pretty sure I'm samemory of the independence day uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
If you quote this signature there'll be 72 copies of Windows ME waiting for you in Heaven.
Actually it does something useful.
This will teach all negligent users to actually defend against zombifying.
One of my colleagues says, he wouldn't care if his machine is a zombie as long as it doesn't slow the machine significantly.

Cars are designed to be relatively simple to operate, yet can be highly reliable, safe, and low maintenance. At least for the majority of their lifetime, for the average person.
Sure, and (at least here) it's mandatory to bring your car in a certified garage once a year for a complete safety checkup where they check your tires, breaks, electronics, exhaust, and also all of your your pipes, and should any of those fail the inspection you have to have it repaired or you will not be allowed on the road 'til it's fixed. The police routinely checks trucks for safety reasons, they can (and do) also pull you over should they have the feeling that something ain't right with your car (and stop your car dead there if they're in any way right).
Once we got the same with computers, we're talking again, ok?
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
I would even say they are still obsessed and paranoid about the U.S attacking any minute. There are a lot of mentally unstable and brainwashed people in North Korea.
You could say the same thing with s/U.S/terrorists/ and s/North Korea/US/. Brainwashing is in the eye of the beholder...
"We had to bomb that village in order to save it"
"This is NOT an invasion of Cambodia"
"The US is too big to be governed by a single office" (Oh and please reelect me anyway)
"Read my lips, no new taxes"
"I did not have sex with that woman, MS Lewinsky"
"Mission Accomplished!"
"If elected, I'll start withdrawing troops from Iraq in March"
It's truly amazing what sort of brainwashing some people will accept.
Mod parent redundant.
Nerd rage is the funniest rage.
