Hi, the new variant has been dubbed as Nyxem.E by F-Secure, and they also issued a Radar level 2 alert on it. It's picking up speed quite nicely. It loads a certain webpage containing a counter when it starts up. Yesterday F-Secure reported the counter to be about 400000. At the moment it is over 510000 and still climbing. What makes it nastier than others is the destructive payload, activating on 3rd day of every month wiping out several different document types. For more info check out: http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/nyxem_e.shtml Toni Koivunen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lawson, Joseph" <jsl@pqa.com> To: <focus-virus@securityfocus.com> Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 9:42 PM Subject: New VB SMTP worm Has anyone else seen or heard about this worm? http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/vb_bi.shtml http://www.quickheal.co.in/public/alerts/i-worm.VB_Bi.asp I actually got first wind of it from a user. The security info was listed two days ago. Is this just a rehash of old worms? Joseph Lawson Associate, Information Technology Perrin Quarles Associates, Inc. JoeLawson@pqa.com
