  • A new version of the Internet worm Bagle causes a global epidemic - The new version of I-Worm.Bagle is similar to its predecessor in many ways. The malicious program spreads via email as an infected file attached to messages. The worm is an executable Windows file of approximately 11KB. The message header reads 'ID x:thanks' and the message body reads 'Yours ID x:Thank', with x in both cases being a random string of characters. Once launched, the worm copies itself to the Windows system directory and registers itself in the system registry auto-run key. In order to confuse the user, the worm also launches Sound Recorder (sndrec32.exe), a standard Windows utility. Following this, Bagle.b attempts to establish a connection with a number of remote sites which are in some way connected with the Trojan proxy server TrojanProxy.Win32.Mitglieder. At the moment, all links to Internet resources where Mitglieder can be downloaded have been deleted, which means that I-Worm.Bagle.b is unable to utilitize this method to increase the speed at which it propagates.
  • Code for MSBlast variant posted online - A piece of code that exploits the critical vulnerability for which Microsoft issued a patch only last week has been posted online, raising fears of an imminent MSBlast-style attack. On 10 February, Microsoft released a patch that fixes a networking flaw affecting all Windows XP, NT, 2000 and Windows Server 2003 systems. The company warned users to patch their systems because the vulnerability could be exploited by virus and worm writers. Four days after the patch was released, a piece of code was published on a French Web site that allows anyone to exploit the vulnerability, which means unpatched users can expect to be hit with another MSBlast-type worm.

  • Microsoft denies IE flaw claim - Microsoft has debunked claims that a new way of attacking its software has been discovered by someone looking at its recently stolen Windows source code. The company said that on Monday it began investigating a "reported exploit" on versions of Internet Explorer, which was "allegedly discovered by an individual studying the leaked source code".  But in a statement Microsoft said the reported exploit was in fact a known, patched, flaw: "This exploit is a known issue that Microsoft had discovered internally and addressed with the latest release of Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1."
