Re: [nznog] Recent worm infestations

Huge activity with the Novarg worm. Details at www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.novarg.a(a)mm.html The most amazing quantity of traffic is the Xtra bounce messages, which are just plain stupid as the virus is propogating using other peoples email addresses from the infected machines records. If anyone from Xtra is listening, can you turn off the auto responder? Keith Davidson

yeh, definately noticing a huge increase in this kind of activity.

For those who haven't noticed the flood of emailed viruses and bounces caused by the dictionary attack the new Windows worm(s) create(s), read and weep:

Plus the usual AV sites.

Looks like it's running amok in NZ.
