New version of MyDoom worm hits Microsoft's Web site.
« on: February 11, 2004, 02:39:02 PM »
Seems that there's yet another version of MyDoom; MyDoom.C, and that its been harrasing Microsoft's own servers!


From eWeek news, MyDoom.C Slams Into Microsoft.com, where they say that the attacks could[/i] have caused some disruption Sunday night and Monday morning!

The NEWS goes on to say that this third variant spreads by "scanning for machines that are already infected with one of the other variants of the worm."

Well, maybe he went precog . . . and had a bad feeling that more scary-stuff was to come?   :-o


From ZDNet Australia-
Quote
Two worms that take advantage of computers whose security has already been compromised started spreading on Monday, . . . --dubbed Doomjuice and Deadhat--threatened only those users still infected with a version of the MyDoom virus, and didn't pose a major problem for businesses, which had previously cleaned systems infected with the virus, the companies said.

The LAST LINE there says: "Deadhat also spreads through the peer-to-peer file sharing program SoulSeek.
