 meister_sdPremium join:2006-01-29 La Mesa, CA kudos:7 | reply to NICK ADSL UK With F-Secure posting those domains, does that mean I can register those and once PCs try to connect to me - I can control them?
If so, pretty irresponsible for them to post those domains. |

Re: INFECTED IPs WORLDWIDE These guys must be the unlucky ones (Ukraine 14,767).
quote: While the origin of the virus is a mystery, F-Secure's best guess is it came from Ukraine. Hypponen said it is coded to avoid computers there, which may indicate whoever wrote the virus was trying to avoid drawing attention from local authorities.

And from that article
quote: But the virus does not appear to be working as its designers intended. F-Secure's chief security adviser, Patrik Runald, said the virus's coding suggests a type of bug that alerts computer users to bogus infections on their machines and offers to help by selling them antivirus software.

Perhaps they're just biding their time... quote: "The gang behind this worm haven't used it yet," F-Secure's chief research officer, Nikko Hypponen said by phone. "But they could do anything they like with any of these machines at any time."
