Conficker botnet bestirs itself
The now-infamous Conficker botnet has been showing some signs of activity over the last couple of days. It appears that it is trying to update itself to a different command and control technique, possibly in response to all the unwelcome attention it has been receiving from security researchers over the past few months. Some of this information is still preliminary. We’ll post more material here if things get interesting.
Bottom line: If your security patches are up to date and you have a decent antivirus program you shouldn’t need to worry about this nuisance.
