Warning~ "super worm" 60 mins. report

"Y2K", or serious threat?

(copied from another site)

I saw on 60 minutes tonight a story about this "super worm". I decided to google it. This reminds me of the latest Die Hard movie. At the time the movie was created last year this was fiction or even maybe sci-fi. Now it is a reality. The movie wasn't that great, but it sent a message that this is very possible to me at least.

There is this worm called "C'onficker". It is supposedly incredible in the way that it morphs. It has already infected 9 million computers. Not just yours or mine, but major companies. While CBS was making this story they found out that they were infected with this worm. It is extremely advanced. I jumps over firewalls and morphs. They had a team of people working on this worm to remove it and they could only quarantine it. They spent 24/7 for 10 days with a team of people and they don't know that they completely got it. They say that it is so advanced that they can't even controll it or find a way to remove it. This "worm" is going to report back and get instuctions on what to do on April 1.

This is coming from the people from Symantek (Norton Anti-virus and Google, etc...) They have disected what they could of this worm and found that on April 1st, it will report back and then whatever commands the owners want to happen will happen. This could be a wipe-out of hard drives, this could be simply a ton of pop ups wanting you to buy spyware or anti-virus software.
Crazy thing is it has infected all of CBS. They said by simply going on ebay you could get it. They also said that it won't be detected by anti-removal programs, and if it is, it is most likely still there because it morphs and morphs and doesn't stop.

I was going to try and copy paste a few articles on this, but I don't want to add in advertisements. The easiest thing is for you to google "worm april 1, or C'onficker".

If this is another Y2K, that's fine and all, but this is a serious reality of our future. We as a nation and as a world are very dependent on the internet. Everyone is hooked up, even all of the companies on the NYSE and even out government computers are on the net. These top officials of "Norton" and google and others said that they can't stop this or if it happens in the future. This is terrorismn at a different level.

Can you imagine in the power companies all shut down, the government computers were all compromised? Anyway this is just something to think about. If I were anyone here I wouldn't at the very least do any banking online. There are 15,000 new worms created everyday and they are designed to take your information and steal from you. Watch the 60 minutes episode if you can, I'm sure it's probably on CBS. The google...... I know we have had Y2K scares before and that wasn't really warented IMO . This however is a scare that is a reality. They have identified a major theat and it is real. I am interested in any opinions ya'll have. Peace.
