Conficker still confounding
Do you remember the Confiker worm that was going to bring the internet to a grinding halt a few months back?
The world breathed a sigh of relief when the predicted apocalypse never eventuated and it appeared as if the worm, for all its sophistication, was simply another attempt to create a new spambot network. Well according to the latest reports, Conficker isn't finished yet and there are still around five million computers that remain infected and connected.
And, despite the best efforts of some of the brightest in the field, nobody has been able to fully crack the mechanisms behind Conficker in a way that would allow this still-ticking time-bomb to be defused. So should we be worried?
