There are rumors that on April 1st the Conficker worm is to be rereleased! I'm fought this worm myself for a couple weeks. I'm not going to name where it was, but it was a nasty little bugger. I think I blogged it awhile back. Anyhow, lets hope that this rumor is a mean April Fools joke and nothing will happen. If it is true..I expect this to be alot worse than the first initial run. That was just a test run in my opinion. We will see I guess! Keep watching the news! I will update this page as I hear more.
UPDATE 4/1/2009 5:00 pm CST
I have kept a close eye on the firewall and have noticed that an incoming attempt to connect every computer on campus has happened on port 445 today. This is the same port that the conficker worm used a month ago when I first saw evidence of it. Notice the other blog post under Hot Fixes on how to protect yourself from the Conficker worm. According to the latest news articles online there are no major instances being found of it and everyone is disregarding it as a hoax, but I am afraid it is not a hoax... I will let you know more as I find it.
