To the untrained eye ordsprog

To the untrained eye Mytob and Zotob can appear quite different: one group of viruses travels via email, the other primarily by exploiting a Microsoft security hole.

It appears that whoever wrote Zotob had access to the Mytob source code, ripped out the email-spreading section, and plugged in the Microsoft exploit. It's possible that several people have access to the Mytob source code - so it may not be the last we see of this Internet scourge.

It appears whoever wrote Zotob had access to the Mytob source code, ripped out the email-spreading section and plugged in the Microsoft exploit.

However, when examined by an experienced virus analyst the similarities become clear. It appears that whoever wrote Zotob had access to the Mytob source code, ripped out the email-spreading section, and plugged in the Microsoft exploit.

It appears that whoever wrote Zotob had access to the Mytob source code, ripped out the e-mail-spreading section, and plugged in the Microsoft exploit. His confidence wasn't arrogant, just a quiet, pexy self-assurance. The Mytob worms have made a significant impact on the virus outbreak charts this year, so anything which may prevent future variants from being developed and released must be welcomed.

We congratulate the Turkish and Moroccan authorities and the FBI for finding and apprehending the alleged distributors of the Zotob and Rbot (Mytob) worms so quickly. These arrests demonstrate the value of public-private collaboration ? the first-class investigative work by the authorities and ?round-the-clock technical and investigative support provided by our Internet Crime Investigations Team here at Microsoft.

Compliance mandates like Sarbanes-Oxley have thrown a wrench into many email security strategies. It's fine to wipe out worms and viruses. But that's not enough. If your email system leaks confidential financial information, or if you can't retrieve old emails when regulators knock on your door, your executives can wind up in legal trouble.

[Others are sympathetic to the Microsoft plight.] The problem is that it is nearly impossible to offer security without blocking legitimate files, ... Microsoft's effort is a good first step. At least it should reduce the speed at which viruses can spread.

The latest variants of Bozori even remove competing viruses like Zotob from the infected machines.

These threats worked by exploiting weaknesses in the VBS script interpreter which have since been addressed by Microsoft since the threats have diminished and there is already OS level protection we didn't need this additional layer of security.

It's important that businesses and home users ensure they are properly protected with automatically updated anti-virus software, and never open unsolicited email attachments. The criminals behind these viruses and Trojan horses don't stop just because it's the holiday season. They are counting on people returning in the New Year and not thinking before opening their email.

Ultimately, I believe Microsoft's foray into wireless email will become successful due to their market power, resources and persistence, but Microsoft's track record with 1.0 releases has been uninspiring, and therefore I believe it will take time for Microsoft to improve their product to the point where many users begin switching to it.

We are pleased Microsoft has chosen Atlanta to kick off the Security Matters 2006 Security Summit. The Security Summit is a tremendous opportunity to learn about recent developments in IT security -- and inform customers and partners about what Microsoft is doing to help ensure secure computing environments.

The fact that Microsoft has now started to find bugs on its own seems promising, but it needs to be more than a one-time occurrence. Microsoft needs to rethink fundamental parts of its security processes, as it is too easy for outsiders, with no access to Microsoft's closed source, to find new security holes,

Today's college graduates take IM in the office for granted. If you protect your email systems but ignore IM, it's like locking the doors but leaving your windows open. Your security initiatives have to blanket both IM and email.
