ALERT: Latest Sober Variant Set To Launch Attack On Jan. 5
Dear Client Contacts,
We want to make you aware that according to Verisign, a new version of the Sober.X worm is set to attack January 5 2006, to coincide with the 87th anniversary of the Nazi party. http://www.verisign.com/press_releases/pr/page_036351.html
At this time, it is believed that the trigger code, which currently may be dormant and undetectable -- but present on computers in your network -- would download additional software, wreak further havoc and propagate wider distribution of the worm.
At MWT, we are engaged in a process to protect our clients and are investigating methods to control distribution and mitigate this threat.
Before Jan 5, we will be contacting those clients under IT retainer with a set of best practice solutions. If you are not under IT retainer, but would like our support, please contact our TechSupport Line, at 202-293-5003 x-256 or email us a
