Medium Risk: New Trojan: Bagle Trojan
From Full Disclosure Jan 18, 2004:
This possible worm outbreak warning was received on TH-Research (The
Trojan Horses Research Mailing List) from Moosoft Development
( www.moosoft.com) a few hours ago.
AV and AT firms have had a few hours to update their databases.
Info can be found only on Kaspersky's web page, so far:
http://www.viruslist.com/eng/alert.html?id=783050
Let's hope it is stopped before it can do too much damage!
This email comes and an heads-up and FYI so you can take measures to
stop it.

Why don't people wise up?
http://www.diamondcs.com.au
Get Registry Prot....................use it.......it will warn you of attempts to change the Registry...just say "no"
If something INTELLIGENT does not work......try it again and say yes............
And if you think that "something intelligent" is the crap attachment that "Mary in finance" just sent you.....you BOTH deserve to be fired..........maybe I should crusade in that direction..............instant dismissals, loss of pension rights? thrown out of school/college...unemployable?...........a new crime?...."crass stupidity in possession of a computer"?
There is so much good advice given on this site............but no one seems to listen?
Guess I am getting cynical?
Cheers

I think we were having this discussion elsewhere. It's called the Microsoft Society/Generation.

Now listed as High Risk
We're seeing lots of this attempting to get through the mail server....
To no avail I might add.

Further information appeared on Full Disclosure this morning:
New information on the worm:
Status of the web pages this worm tries to connect to is still unclear.
Some vendors report it downloading a certain Trojan, but we see no
information on that so far since the web pages status is still unclear,
as mentioned.
Mcafee also reports it listening on port 6777.
The worm tries to connect to the following hacked box: 151.201.0.39.
Finally now all AV products "speak" of this worm.
Response times for detecting/cleaning/webpages updates were not so good.
As I mentioned earlier, Kaspersky and The Cleaner (MooSoft) were the
noticeable exceptions.

Ahhhhh pretty picture..oooooooo click here
ooooo faster downloads.mmmmmm click here
eeeek prevent nasty bill gates spying in me.. click here
Wooot.. The screen is flashing I have won something...Click here
Cure that and cure 80% of pc problems.. if *nix platform becomes the dominant Platform.. it to will suffer the same commercial crap.. but the end user and their Blue Haze Glaze, and CBS mentality.. the story will continue.. just the scenery will be different (pse note this is not a Pro M$ comment)
As has been commented.. the weakest link.. the user..
my last 2 virus infections.. my stupidity.. (well my daughter realy.. she opened the email's.. but I hadn't updated the AV.. did I.. or was it AVG's fault.. nah my fault.. I know.. that ***** at the news stand, who ran out of PC World Mags that week. yeh all of my recent virus infections are his fault)..
Try this.. Since MSBlaster hit.. every PC sold through our store.. has had the relevent patches installed.. that is untill Christmas.. you see I went to sales full time.. suddenly all pc's sold had blaster.. guess who's fault??? ... Boss says Charge the customer, it isn't a hardware fault, or the customer can take it up with the supplier.. .. I make up a brochure and a CD and give it to customers.. Boss removes same from the shop.. if the customer system is infected.. to bad.. they pay the Service section to have it removed.. I tell him where to stick his time clock..
Bottom line .. User stupidity Second.. Retail oppertunity is the primary cause..
Oh yes ams MsM.. Thanks for the headsup..
Appreciated..

Und3ertak3r,
Chill out, your boss is a "Richard Cranium Esquire", if you sell something defective, you are in trouble, I think that your boss is living on borrowed time?
Hey, if it gets through to the media that your store is selling stuff that is already infected when it comes out of the box, or even not properly patched? he is in big trouble
I do hope he knows how to lose, because he is about to..........big time
It is a bloody irresponsible attitude anyway, I just hope that he does not have a wife and children..it's not their fault.
Good luck mate
