Storm re-emerges in a new form
The Storm Trojan attack that began last week has re-emerged in a new guise according to security researchers. The malicious file's name has changed and is being hosted by new servers, with an added rootkit to cloak the bot code from anti-virus software.
Spam messages attempting to dupe users into installing the bot-making Trojan now include links happycards2008.com or newyearcards2008.com, different URLs from the second-wave attack that began Christmas Day. According to analysts at the SANS Institute's Internet Storm Center (ISC) and U.K.-based Prevx, the name of the file users are asked to download has also changed from Tuesday's "happy2008.exe." The file being shilled today is tagged to "happynewyear.exe." http://www.techworld.com/security/ne...S&NewsID=11005
