Don't know which ISP you have Zencoder, but the big Q has hundreds infected or trying to sploit it as of Yesterday. Actually looking at the large number of IP addresses I would say infected. I saw a few hit blocks yesterday but today... whew.Quote:
So it seems that the clueless, uninformed, and lazy have already begun to feel the pain.
Question about this Zotob thing:
My company is spread nationwide. However, in my local office, we keep losing connection to the shared drives on our server. The local IT (not really an IT guy, but they let him handle it) seems to think its Zotob-related. So he sent out the Symantec "FixZotob" removal tool and everyone ran it and no one found it on their system.
Okay, finally the question:
Is this lost connection typical of the Zotob problem? If not, what do you think that it might be?
I cant make any changes myself, but I would love to be able to pass him some tips or things to check out :)
You know the typical rules Kthln01
Server OS, CLient OS etc. It is hard to guess. ;) I would also start another thread in one of the tech forums. Probably AD replication but who knows you might have linux.
What seems to be typical of Zotob is a system reboot, this could cause the connection to drop. Are the systems rebooting? Other than that, not much else I can add, it could be your losing your connection due to the amount of traffic these 'bots' are creating on the net. (connection may not be lost, just really really slow).Quote:

I knew someone was going to post that since Linux isn't even affected. :)
Sure Phisshy. Cmon over. It's tons of fun....really it is. Staying up around the clock, no good food, management calling every five seconds for updates, incompetent contractors not clipping the issue when dispatched...Quote:
I'd love to be in symantecs "war rooms" right now watching this unfold on the "big screens".
I'll bring the keg and pop corn!
LOL, on second thought, bring the whiskey.
PS
Wanna guess where I am right now??!!

Sitting on your ass on AIM bitching about how you can talk in a week while a **** load of "Professional" Anti virus people sit there watching Rome burn to the ground and instead of pouring water on, they talk about "What if we used matches instead of lighters would that help?"
....Horse you ****ing dick you've poisoned me, I don't even work in IT yet and I know damnw ell what I just said probably IS happening.
Yep, I'm taking my 1/2 hour break (as mandated by govt standards) and soon I will be back in the thick of things.
Everything is good for you in moderation, even poison. ;)
