Slashdot | Kama Sutra Worm Could Make For A Bad Friday
Ment to post this earlier in the week; I wasn’t concerned over it though, since us geeks are usually well prepared and protected.
“CNN is running a story about the Kama Sutra worm, a virus that is coded to overwrite files of the (potentially thousands of) infected computers. They provide some background on this viral outbreak and warn users to protect themselves” From the article: “And even for home computer users who have never taken such precautions before, security experts say now would be a good time to back up your most important data, like financial information and family photographs, to CDs, DVDs, zip drives, or an external hard drive that you know is worm and virus free. Unlike a lot of malware that exploits vulnerabilities in the Windows operating system, there is no ‘patch’ that can be downloaded to ward off Kama Sutra.” —ripped from Slashdot; read the top comment made by ‘eldavojohn’ which is informative.
