New Nasty Windows Worm (Downadup, Conficker or Kido)

that's the point, if they can stop it they know how to trace it
that's impossible if they can't; i know its absurd pero i can;t help but entertain the thought of the antivirus companies that needs to sustain their business... (well i hope im wrong, but right about them tracing the virus' source)

Yes I believe that scenario also, we don't really know if the anti-virus support companies are really made their products to defend virus cases. But somehow since Ive been working as a comrade of I.T. Dept., I just hear some issue that well known corporates who support anti-virus technology where truly certified, and who really built programmings to counter against hackers and intruders who usually call "cyber criminals". And also ive been heard long time ago, there's this young man who works in a big-time I.T companies in Europe and one of the worlds top 8 programmer who capable in different programming languages and has the certified of developing in-depth applications and robotics machines. But in the mid of his career he was suddenly terminated and accuse for pirating a certain canned software. And he was no idea why was that happen and accusing him a crime for not committed. Then the following months when he already lost his job, he never give up the fight instead of focusing himself to make a thoroughly trace by his own way. And when the time he knew already that he was on frame-up by his fellow member programmer, in order to lost his position as an Senior Lead Specialist and also being a recognize as a top programmer holder. From then he was vanished almost a year and never been heard of where he is. Then after 5 years the news explode that a virus software came out on the net, where rapidly infected across the globe and most worst cases mainly destabilize leading companies especially in I.T. Support businesses. And one of the most affected company who experience great losses and damages, was the former company of the young guy. After another year pass, an special team NBI who conducts the investigations, were found out that a nickname use to recognize the developer of the virus was identified. And also that nick was also identify to a former team mates of the young guy and also one of the closes friend... Mao na maka ingon gyd ko mas maau gyd ang hacker kaysa anti-hacker hehehe joke lang

sir, cant you guys trace the creators of the virus and the people who develop them? with microsoft and symantec helping together it could be a posibility...

usahay mag duda na lang pud ko nga the one who makes the virus and updates them are also the people who makes the anti-virus? why keep on defending if those companies has the resources to trace them?

unsa na nga computer naa sa imung background?

is this story true or urban legend lang nga "programmer" ang theme? if that guy was a really talented programer he should have found ways how to counter the false accusation, dba?

u mean this?

Brace Yourself for the Worm's Next Attack - Business Center - PC World

naa mi customer nga na igo pod ani. at 1st dili sya ma delete/quarantine sa AV. naa ka e install nga patch, after that ma limpyohan na

[giancarlo]

Up me here for an info

[jhunric]

Sus na igo sad amo company ani, hasol kaayo ni nga worn kay cge ka lock-out ang mga users accounts. But today na anam2x na namo ug fix ang mga affected pc's. But still under observation gihapon, hopefully microsoft would learn from this and deploy patches before the virus creators could see vulnerabilities on their Operating Systems.

Last month our company was hit and surprise the effect of the new w32.downloadup. It rapidly spread to all open connections, mostly taking over the network. And can transfer to other station within a sec. the virus made delays to our production area and some priority transaction that needed to transmit is also affected. In after almost 1 week, we already take over the virus issues with the help also of the symantec corp. they just give us some procedures and patches to be applied in affected area. And after that, we completely cleaned all the working station that were affected before.

just a thought, updated ba ang windows patches ninyo? for a corporate environment, much better man gud nga updated ang servers sa mga critical patches then ang mga workstation sad.
how about ang network structure? 1 whole network ni sya wlay mga sub-net or firewalls in between?

I believe this is the result of disgruntled employees who turn become cybercriminals or individuals who wants BIG BIG money and do business in relation to global recession. Even security professionals and firms predict that online threats and cybercrimes will greatly increase. With this, we should be vigilant and careful.

hmm.. i think they're minds are just persuaded by too much cyber-crime movies they have seen.. why would they want to do that? if they are smart enough,, they know they can't work forever, it will be better if they retire from a company and receive compensation, its always a better option than going cyber criminal guy...

and i dont believe there is a man smart enough to know all the corners of the internet.
im still not relieved of my somewhat crazy idea, that the antivirus company themselves are the ones making and updating this viruses and worms..
