Success is Good and Bad

March 30, 2009 by Andrew 1 Comment

I am happy to report that I am passing all of my classes this semester. Success is good!

Now on to the bad…April 1st is the update for the malicious conficker worm.

Conficker, also known as Downup, Downadup and Kido, is a computer worm that surfaced in October 2008 and targets the Microsoft Windows operating system.The worm exploits a previously patched vulnerability in the Windows Server service used by Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 Beta, and Windows Server 2008 R2 Beta. The worm has been unusually difficult for network operators and law enforcement to counter because of its combined use of advanced malware techniques. (Graphic and article is from wikipedia)

There is specualtion if conficker is going to wreck its havoc on the internet on April 1st. Always better to err on the side of caution and update all your computers, make sure users have secure passwords, and update all anti-virus defenitions.

    Glad to see you are doing well in your classes. But I’m thinking this Conficker thing is just an April Fool’s joke…Yep, I choose to be naive.
