The largest zombi-network chooses a victim

On the Internet next virus epidemic grows. ” Storm worms ” recently have considerably raised the activity and by present time have infected already nearby 2 million computers. The zombi-network which has resulted their activity, has an opportunity to break work practically any the Internet-resource.
” Storm worms “, notifications dispatching by e-mail about ostensibly come to the owner of a mail box cards which contain references to nocuous sites, have grasped 1,7 million computers. Experts approve, that given epidemic is many times more powerful than largest of all events for last two years. The computers already infected by worms, will suffice to break work practically any site on the Internet. Since July, 16th, 2007 when experts for the first time have noted growth of ” storm letters “, on August, 1st, in research company Postini have fixed 415 million copies of various letters, a deceit of forcing users to load on a computer a nocuous code. Before the specified July date the volume of such letters made no more than 1 million a day. On July, 19th their number has grown up to 48,6 million, on July, 24th – 46,2 million From them of 99 % was necessary on “storm” worms.
SecureWorks, tracing quantity computers – the so-called boats used for carrying out of DDoS-attacks, results the statistics testifying to the connected tendency: from January till May inclusive the company had been fixed 2815 boats, and by the end of July their quantity has increased up to 1,7 million
The term ” a storm worm ” (Storm worm) has appeared after the past in the Europe of hurricane “Cyril” when dispatches of letters with executed files like video.exe and the themes, concerning act of nature have begun, for example: ” 230 were lost from a storm in the Europe “. Present ” storm worms ” have no attitude to acts of nature and, we shall repeat, suggest to look a card ostensibly sent by the friend or the relative.
Let’s remind, that last years the most appreciable epidemics of steel MyDoom and Saccer, in due time the infected millions computers. Both epidemics have passed in 2004 Infected MyDoom computers have been used by malefactors for carrying out of DDoS-attacks and for the organization of other virus epidemics. Worm Saccer has appeared so scale, that its “work” even has led to failures in work of separate segments of the Internet.
