[nukkad] [YAVA] Belated alert for the SoBig virus



----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions--the little, 
soon-forgotten charities of a kiss or smile, a kind look or heartfelt 
compliment. -Samuel Taylor Coleridge, poet (1772-1834) 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rawatji and others,

The Sobig.F virus is the fastest moving vrus known to us. There are any number 
of statistics available for this. I will guide all of you to one that has a lot 
of these things written up in a succinct way.

Sophos - an anti-virus s/w vendor based in UK (I think) has written this very 
well. The URL for their site is 
http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/articles/sobigtimeline.html which details the 
timeline for this particular virus. 

An interesting page to look at is 
http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/articles/sobigtimeline.html which details the 
nefarious nature of this particular virus. Of course, virus is not the right 
technical word for this program. They refer to this as a worm.

http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/articles/sobigextra.html and 
http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/articles/sobigiplist.html are also interesting 
links.

CERT, a US based entity, has some information about this particular worm. 
http://www.cert.org/incident_notes/IN-2003-03.html

Symantec, the makers of Norton Anti Virus have given similar information at 
their site 
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sobig.f@mm.html

Hope no one here (at nukkad) got infected badly. All the best to everyone. 

BTW, I have finally managed t get a consulting contract, albeit just for 3 
months. Hopefully it will grow into something better. That is why I am so 
silent these days.

But rest assured that I read almost each and evry e-mail here.

Sai
