Today's virus brought to you by Sony

[sigma7]

Several campus computers have been infected by Breplibot and consequently taken off the network. Apparently the method of infection is via executable e-mail attachments. I don't think I have to lecture my f-list about the inherent dangers of executing attachments, but it seems at least half a dozen people on campus could stand a refresher course.

And yes, it uses technology derived from Sony's rootkit to mask its presence, so give Sony a thank-you note, if you're so inclined.
