::Bofra worm

Tuesday, November 23, 2004

ComputerWorld announces that Euro web sites spread BOFRA WORM (also known as Mydoom.ah/ag) via banner ads which made me think twice if banner ads on Blog Explosion is safe to click or not? On Nov. 16th, GFi says "the worm sends a link by email and when the user accesses the website using Microsoft Internet Explorer, the buffer overflow is triggered which in turn installs the rest of the worm."

ComputerWorld mentioned the vulnerability allows attackers to gain complete control of a user's computer but, users running Windows XP Service Pack 2 have nothing to worry about. I just wonder whether the worm can trade and play on BlogShares, too?

butterfly Let me know you were here, your thoughts are welcome!

Best thing I can suggest is dump IE and use Mozilla FireFox, it's MUCH safer.
