Happy New Year From The 'Storm Worm Gang'...

A higher resolution version of this video can be found here: http://momusings.com/images/New-Year-Storms.html

The movie has no audio, so it is office friendly, however, as usual I've included a text commentary of what's happening.

Do not go to the sites shown! You have been warned. ;-)

The movie shows you what you'd see if you clicked on the URLs in the current 'Storm Worm' run that is using New Year themed e-mails to get you to visit their site and infect your PC so that it will become part of the 'Storm Worm' botnet.

Protect your computer this New Year.

Just to make it clear, I am NOT part of the 'Storm Worm Gang'.

i read that storm is more powerful than 500 of the most powerful supercomputers put together. and this is only 10-20% of their full strength. you're looking at 2500 to 5000+ of the world's most powerful supercomputer put together and sending out spam every second

[alexkvaskov]

some of the criminals involved in these botnets are officials in large corporations and they have big influence and sway over the government - that's something that you can't fight

the best way to defend yourself is to get the best anti virus software

The kraiken is told to be even more powerful, more machines + any attempt ate reverse engineering and youl be ddosed automaticly.

the storm worm is the most advance bonnet software in existence, and is actively defended by both automated software and network operators (it uses a DoS attack on you) making it near imposable to take offline

Beyond passive counter-measures? What are some legal (I understand this might be subject to various bodies of legislation, so accept a premise of U.S. law) ways to attack the source of this?

[arnoldojnunez]

How do you counter these guys?
