Does anyone know what kind of 'outgoing traffic' this is? From: Tim Lane [mailto:tlane () SCU EDU AU] Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2007 8:26 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] "Yay" Malware Hi All, has anyone seen (for want of a better term) the Yay Malware. We are seeing a small window with the word "yay" in it appear on the desktop with a lot of outgoing traffic. A search on Google cites quite a few people seeing this in the last 24 hours but no resolution. We have tried to remove it with: Symantec AV Adaware Spybot S&D Defender XoftSpySE MSRT Seems like it may be very new and the AV vendors have not caught on yet.... If anyone has seen it and mitigated it I would be interested to hear.
