Google seems to fail on every search containing the word 'mail' ? -- Marco Davids SARA High Performance Networking - Amsterdam
From /.
It seems like the latest MyDoom worm variant has caused a bit of an Internet storm. Google, at this time (12:28 EDT), is returning 503 errors on all queries submitted from certain locations. The MyDoom variant searches the user's address book for email domains (i.e. @yahoo.com) and searches various engines (such as Google) for email addresses in that domain." http://isc.sans.org/diary.php?isc=d46940064182f61f40ca333bc3c2f439 -- Erik Parker

Symantec, F-PROT, AVG (and others ) have released new definitions to cover the new MyDoom variant - it will require manual downloading and updating.

Yes. The issue being experienced is apparently being caused by: http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_127033.htm http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.mydoom.m@mm.html Please see: http://isc.sans.org/diary.php?isc=d46940064182f61f40ca333bc3c2f439 -- Anthony Edwards * anthony.edwards@uk.easynet.net Abuse Team Manager * Easynet UK Abuse Team Easynet Ltd * DDI: 0161 227 0707 http://www.uk.easynet.net * Fax: 0845 333 4503

Perish forbid! Viruses? spam? DOS? network operational issues? Of course not. Sending a "break" to a 2511? Now _there_ is an operational issue! (Wonder if he knows you have to plug a VT52 in to make it work?)

Operational in the context that it's a response to a network traveling worm, and will generate customer calls.
Don't know about customer calls, but I'm having a killer day with my mailbox. Almost a thousand messages which looks like bounces trying to send email to my mailbox but in reality all worms containing .zip and other attachments. None of other viruses caused so many copies of itself mailed to me in such a short period of time, this is like 10 times what I remember from Nimda explosion. -- William Leibzon Elan Networks william@elan.net
