Yeah, I'm an admin on one of the IRC Servers, and we got our security
services to ban on connect with them.
Ugly worm.... lots of variations, most of them didn't have the .zip
extension.

Hello everybody,

As of today, we started noticing spamming bots or drones on our IRC
network.
They enter channels, scan for users, exit and spam users with following
messages:

<kyzclvqfc> EEEEEEETHHHOOOM! MINDJAIL!! HE IS TRAPPED!! GET HIM OUT!
http://61.48.32.73:3030/mindjail.zip



<pwdujizao> Ever heard of a thing called mindjail? Check it:
http://61.106.85.184:3030/mindjail.zip



Did anybody else notice this behavior? It seems to be a new work. I
searched
on Google for "mindjail", but my search did not return anything.



Thanks
