And this may only be the start of what’s to come. The Conficker worm that has infected millions Windows PC’s woke up last Friday April 10th at midnight London time. Researches noticed a huge encrypted TCP response (134,880 bytes) from a known Conficker P2P IP node which was hosted somewhere in Korea.
Researchers say it started downloading and installing on previously infected PCs. It already started turning PC’s into robot spamming machines in eastern Europe. It downloads new malicious files that can be activated at a later date and also the inclusion of the Waledac Malware or “ScareWare”. The Waledac is a fake anti-virus software that bombards you with pop-ups to pay a $49.95 fee for its bogus antispyware protection and get rid of the detected serious threats it found on your PC. Waledac is currently only detected in about 25% of the major anti-virus products on the market.. that’s scary.
