'Good' worm hits computers | |
|
||
| Time: 09:03 EST/14:03 GMT | News Source: CNN | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim | ||
|
A new computer worm is spreading worldwide through a security hole in Windows - also used by last week's Blaster worm -- but then patching the hole instead of crashing the system like Blaster does, security experts said on Monday. The new so-called good worm, dubbed "Welchia" or "Nachi," is similar to Blaster, but it purports to patch the hole Blaster exploited to enter into computers in the first place and tries to clean up after Blaster if the computer is infected with it. | ||

Amazing. When MSBlast came through last week our company was barely impacted.
This worm on the other hand dumped itself on about 40 machines on our network, and took out our T3 line. Fortunately we're in the process of doing an XP migration and linking in the Altiris management suite so that we shouldn't have issues in the future with rogue machines on the network without patches. |
