Story: Swen worm tops virus charts
Posted by: Betsy (Saturday 20 September 2003, 11:14 PM)
One of our email addresses is getting swamped with ms security type email with large attachment containing 2mB. We are getting around 80 of these a day and it's really slowing things down.
I'm not convinced that this many emails are getting sent from infected machines. How many times does the worm mail itself? Can an infected machine bog itself down by sending mail to itself?
When I read the details of what these latest worms are doing, it becomes clear a main motiviation is to collect information from the target machine and sent it out to the Internet... Hardly anything is said about this 'aspect' of these viruses in the news...
