Y-A-W-N...New Storm Tactic......

Yeah, those boy backing the Storm worm keep coming up with new ways to try and hide. Now they're using re-directs to Geocities web pages. Read on.....

STORM WORM ALERTS!!!

With all the hoopla that seems to be heaped upon each and every new Storm\Nuwar\Peacomm\Peed\Zhelatin worm I thought I'd make a quick little template for these alerts so security people could make posting said alerts a little bit easier.

Mind you, I may not give too much attention to this because it's the easiest thing to avoid. Just don't open any unknown\odd\unusual\ emails! Plain as that. If you do, then you deserve what you get. Yea, it's harsh....get over it.

See my post here

Open Any eCards Lately? HijackThis Analysis Required

Well, if you have, shame on you. If you opened on and then clicked on the link contained therein, you ought to be smacked! People like you make spammers rich just on curiosity alone. WAKE UP!

NEVER open emails unless the sender is known to you. NEVER click a link in a suspicious email. If you have done so, you'll need to get HijackThis! from here
and install as instructed. Then post a log into my Countermeasures:
Extraction Help Forum.

Of course you'll need to register to gain access and post the log.

I'll be all over it, like white on rice....no 3, 5 or 10 day waiting at this forum, no sir.
