Conficker: It’s alive!

by John Evelyn on April 9, 2009

I blogged about the Conficker virus last week but April 1st came and went without a Conficker apocalypse.

Was Conficker a dud? “The truth is, nobody knows,” according to Ian Paul on PC World.

However, Websense, a security vendor, reported that Conficker had started to download a binary file on April 7th.

You can sign up for security alerts and warnings from HM Government (CPNI) on GetSafeOnline.org and get up-to-date warnings about important security news.

hmm, so conficker day was april 7th ?

i’m surprised that so many people had left MS08-067 open :p
anyway, MS08-067 would already be patched on my _windows 7 6.1.7068_ box :p
