If you haven’t seen any of the media frenzy on this, you can see the 60 minutes story on their web site or you can read the Microsoft article here:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Entry.aspx?name=Win32%2fConficker and
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/dd452420.aspx.
I caution against web searches (like Google) on the subject as malware (not anti-malware sites) are already poisioning the search streams with fake Anti-Virus software.
Now is the time to do the FULL SCAN and Microsoft updates that you have been putting off.
At a bare minimum, I’d expect that numerous domain names will be registered for serving malware and updating Conficker/Downadup to increase the infection network.
Watch for more of this as research continues on some of these fake anti-virus attacks.
