A new variant of the virulent MyDoom worm has been found in the wild, launching what one analyst fears may be a vicious attack against Microsoft Corp.'s Web site. Ken Dunham, director of malicious code at iDefense, Inc., a security and anti-virus company, says analysts there just found the variant, which they're calling MyDoom-C, and it's spreading rapidly in the wild. Early analysis of the worm, shows that it has been stripped down and is largely, if not solely, focused on attacking the microsoft.com site.
