Microsoft calls next Conficker variant 'manageable' | |
|
||
| Time: 16:18 EST/21:18 GMT | News Source: TechTarget | Posted By: Andre Da Costa | ||
|
Microsoft is urging customers to continue to be vigilant, treating Conficker like any other malware threat a firm could encounter. In a message on its Microsoft Security Response Center blog, the software giant said the next variant uses a different domain algorithm, generating a larger number of possible domains to receive its orders. Security experts have already cracked the next version's algorithm and are working to disrupt the next version of the worm. "This new version … does not spread by attacking new systems," said Christopher Budd, security program manager for the MSRC. "Just like we're staying constant and focused in our actions against Conficker, all of us encourage customers to stay constant and focused in their actions." | ||

This clearly means that tomorrow is going to really suck for some of us :(
When Microsoft says it isn't worried about something security related, it scares the scat outta me. |
