Worm Set For April Fools Day Launch
Friday, March 20th, 2009
Security researchers have sent out notice about a worm set to hit the wild on April 1, making the situation no laughing matter. Conficker.C, the latest variant of Conficker.A and Conficker.B-both of which have been shut down by some crafty reverse engineering-isn’t quite as nasty as its predecessors, in the same way Lil Kim isn’t quite as nasty as 2 Live Crew.
Researchers at CA (Computer Associates) haven’t been successful in shutting down this newest variant, but have looked at the code to discover it is set to launch itself en masse on April Fools Day. But we’re guessing it won’t be a trick.
