New MyDoom Worm

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I started seeing this yesterday, and we’re usually a couple of days behind on new outbreaks, simply by virtue of being small and not very cutting edge. By the end of yesterday 20 of them had been intercepted by Postini, more than that have been today. That’s a pretty big outbreak for our network. That tells me that either this sucker is running wild out there, or someone we do alot of business with got infected. I’m just glad it wasn’t anyone I do tech support for. 🙂

Update: This afternoon one passed through Postini without being detected. Possibly a new-new variant or did Postini miss it because the attachment was zipped? Must look into this one…

    Interesting questions come to my mind as I read an email from a coworker about adding some stuff to email signatures as a way to promote an upcoming event. How many people actually read past the name field of a sig file? If you do, at what point does it become too long and you…
