Possible BlackWorm DDay February 3rd

[RLVaughn <Randy_Vaughn () BAYLOR EDU>]

The forecast for damages due to a rather large infection, termed
Blackworm/Nyxem/Blueworm,  appears to be worth my assuming the

You can learn more about this risk via <http://www.lurhq.com/blackworm.html>.
The lurhq.com site also has snort signatures for your use.

Those of us running the Windows platform may also find the claim

that the MS malware removal tool can deal with the worm to be quite
comfy.
