New Virus Tonight Might Have A Keylogger
 

Symantec's engineers are saying the MyDoom virus has a keylogging program in it.

McAfee's engineers haven't found it in the code.

Be careful either way, its worldwide and still progating like a nuclear reaction.

This is the first time I've seen McAfee do 2 virus DAT file updates in a single day. That's ultra serious time.

:BangBang:

Thanks for the heads up..downloading updates :thumbsup

got the virus in a email from a MGP that I submitted to earlier today. Good thing my ISP blocks all that stuff.

Yeah I got 2 Norton auto-updates today as well. The sad thing is that the people without protection and old people who open up every attachment they get, keep things like this going longer than they should.

updating now

nasty... avg put out an update too.

This Virus doesnt effect macs right?

thanks for the heads up...

It might. They are saying this one was Linux targeted because of some intellectual property rights situation going on between Linux and SCO group. It wasn't targeted only at Windows users.
So maybe Mac too.

if people are stupid enough to still open random email attachments, they shouldn't be online to begin with. then again they are probably the same people who sign up for most adult sites, so what the fuck am i talking about.

no it doesn't affect them i'm told.

ok let me download that mcafee shit..

any specific version?

Newest is V 8.0 and DAT 4319

I wondered why macafee was clogging up my boot up today... :)

I'm surprised this hasn't been tried before. Windows makes it VERY easy to get access to all keystrokes, open windows, and event calls through the Win32 API.

Anybody want a plug-in that steals passwords, substitutes ref-codes, sucks down your entire address book, sets up an open port, and sends all info to an anonymous free host somewhere?

:Graucho Start the bidding!!!
j/k

Sig whoring check, 1... 2... 1... 2...

tnx

I haven't been able to access my mail server for the past hour, I think it's getting slammed. Not good. It feels like a regular spam day * 1000.

thats messed up- but i am glad that all their coders quickly reacted to the threat :)

"When the machine gets infected, the worm will set up a backdoor into the system by opening TCP ports 3127 thru 3198"


frequently scanned port, always use a firewall

Get a server side mail scanner, even a free one http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/, and you won't get a single virus email.

One more reason to buy a macintosh

By that logic this is one more reason to buy a TI-99 or a abacus. :321GFY

So you can only get this if you actually open the attatchment? What's to worry about then?
