The number one thing the majority of the malicious code we're seeing now does is disable or delete anti-virus and other security software. In a lot of cases, once the user clicks on that attachment, it's already too late.

This is one of those big, under-the-radar threats that we've been concerned about. There has been a trend away from big-bang attacks to very targeted and sophisticated attacks that take place right under your nose. This is one of them.

It actually appears to be a pretty good design.

It's such a small population. Other assets are available to attack.

There's no such thing as [malicious] software melting hard drives.

It's all about hiding it so you can maintain extended control over a computer because then you can profile it and steal more. In today's world, with identity theft running rampant, they need more than just your credit card. They need to get your date of birth and your social to get maximum profit on your computer. So it's about remaining stealthy.

You should boot from a clean disk before removing a virus. Some viruses can't be cleaned any other way.

Pay for one commercial package and add one or more free programs. Set the primary package to scan all the time and use the second ary programs only when you need them, so they don't conflict. It's like getting a second opinion from a doctor.

Then, we thought maybe the police had gotten inside the group that made Sober and might be close to an arrest. But now it's likely that they found a date coded inside an earlier version of the worm.

We don't know if it's fraud-related or whatever. Clearly, they're being silently and illegally installed, at a minimum, for personal profit and they may also involve fraud or exploitation. I think the next week is going be the most telling and the most significant in terms of risk.

Historically, risk is much higher with Windows operating systems than Unix/Linux. How can I say that, look at all the major attacks. Which ones had the greatest likelihood and impact for 2005? Windows hands down.

The attack, if it comes, could come anytime after the afternoon and the evening of the 5th.

We did reverse engineering on the variants, and found this date in the code. The way this works is that at a pre-determined time, computers already infected with Sober will connect with specified servers and download a new payload, which will likely be spammed out in the millions, as was the last version.

WMF exploitation has taken off in the past twelve hours. It's likely that WMF exploitation will be very successful in the near term.

The threat level for this vulnerability may be dramatically increased if more automated methods of distribution are found to be successful, such as e-mail or IM or file shares. The impact of attacks may also increase, with more sinister codes being installed as new hackers attempt to leverage the vulnerability to their advantage.
