MIMAIL/MyDoom/Novarg Email Virus Continues
Beginning about 5 pm EST (2200 UTC) yesterday we began receiving a flood
of email containing a malicious attachment. To visually see what has
been arriving at our servers, we have two graphs available. We are
showing emails per 10 minutes at http://isc.sans.org/images/virus.png
and emails per hour at http://isc.sans.org/images/virus2.png . Notice
the drop-off overnight followed by the rapid increase this morning as
people came to work. There was a spike for the east coast workers and
another increase as the west coast came to work. The time across the
bottom is EST. Today's increase started at about 8 am Central European
time, again corresponding roughly to the time workers began opening
their mail. This afternoon there has been a gradual decrease as the
infected computers are brought under control. While no new variants have
been detected yet, it would not be
unexpected to see modified versions appear in the next few days.
A very detailed writeup of the events surrounding this malware
including analysis and discussions by
the Trojan Horses Research Mailing List is available online at
