• Conficker keeps on ficking

    Deborah Hale at the SANS Storm Center reports that SANS continues to get notifications about Conficker infections.

    I heard about a local company today who on Monday of this week started having some pretty strange goings on in their network and called in their consultants to try to figure out what was happening. It turns out after much time spent trying to determine what was going, it was “just another Conficker Outbreak”. (Still working on it as a matter of fact). They do have anti virus however the infection went undetected for quite some time. Why? Because Conficker did what Conficker does and it over rode the security software and antivirus software to allow them to do their dastardly deeds while remaining undetected. This company has close to 100 computers and more than 50% of them have been infected, some for a while it seems.

    If you haven’t checked your Windows XP computers recently, run over to the Conficker Eye Chart and make sure you can see all six pictures. Anything less, and your computer is likely infected.

    Conficker may be the single best reason to upgrade to Windows 7…
