ConFicker Worm

[Briguy]

Has anyone around the World been affected yet by the worm? I think it's already April 1st on the other side of the World.

 

[Cleric7x9]

havent heard anything yet

 

[El DJ]

No, because it connects to an external server to get the time and date.
When it's 12am on April 1st on that server is when it's supposed to do the deed.

Although I rarely posted in it, yeah I do.


About the worm, I hope it is real and I hope there is an internet apocalypse. Why? Because it would be cool. I might get it on a VM just to see what it does, or maybe this computer so I can convince my dad to buy me a new HDD to run Raid 0 .

Still not worried. I have Windows Firewall! (haha jk -Windows firewall).

Yeah, but let's not get off topic elsewhere.
I personally think it's going to be an April Fools joke, but if not, let's put a statement about supporting the OT in our sigs or something.

yea i think it could be a joke too.

 

[El DJ]

The reason I think it's going to be a joke is because they said they'd take away from our post count, which I don't think any self respecting admin would have the balls to do to an entire community.

Yeh sure I will miss it, interesting stuff in there.
Seems like something they are doing to releave themselves of work.

Hey i cut corners at work too lol, cant blame them.

[just a noob]

[Hdk20]

I ain;t worried they just recommend that you have anti virus or a anti worm thing and you should be fine.

 

[El DJ]

No one knows what it's going to do yet.
