Cyber Terrorism and you
As i'm sure everyone knows, a virus is computer program that copies itself into a hosts computer without permission. It then reproduces itself and spreads on other computers via. A removable medium, internet or any other source and infects several other computers. Viruses are erronously termed as malware, worms. TodayI want to simply give insight on a particular bugger by the name of Win32/Conficker. Rising up in 2009, Conficker is a network worm that exploits RPC sub-system vulnerability present in the microsoft windows operating system, allowing a user to remotely attack a user from without valid user credentials conficker infects the computer using unprotected folders, removable medium or by making use of autorun facility enabled by default in windows. this threat contacts other domain names to download additional malicious code.
To avoid this threat, end users must update their system with a patch already available since October.
