 W32.Mydoom.AL@mm Posted on: Sun Feb 06, 2005 2:31 amI believe that someone who's active in this community made the W32.Mydoom.AL@mm worm virus (one of the many modified mydoom viruses)
What seemed to be a simple web worm that infected our site, it now seems it was more, it (and the person behind it) seems to have used our website (and a few others) as a server to start to distribute the virus/worm. http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/ ... al@mm.html Downloads and executes a copy of Backdoor.Nemog.D from one of the following domains: petrucciforum.com ra-kbr.ru ribaforada.net stahlhammer.org strikenet.us sundayriders.co.uk supermantv.net xprizenews.org yamamizuryu.org foxalpha.com frenchconnexion.org hidden-agenda.co.uk hooping.org hypnobirthing.co.uk idiotica.co.uk imogenheap.co.uk knutsfordcricket.co.uk lancer.com.ru newgenerationcomics.net overcoming-x.org.ru I tracked some files.. but I'm still not 100% sure we fixed it. And 1and1 (hosting provider) sucks with detecting it or supporting us. (if you ever chose webhosting, use ezoshosting, crystaltech etc or any other provider, but not 1and1). If you have more info about this virus, or know what files it downloads from our webspace (I hope I deleted them all), please contact me ASAP with replying on this topic. _________________ Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible. - Lord Kelvin, 1892 |

Posted on: Sun Feb 06, 2005 3:57 am Not exactly the way you wanna see your site mentioned on someone else's site, huh?
Is this why there was an error connecting to here earlier? Guess I'll be running a full set of virus/spyware scans before bed tonight. Boy, I lose all phone and Net connection for almost a week, and things just get crazy while I'm away.. heh. _________________ "Floating down the sound resounds around the icy waters underground.." |

Posted on: Sun Feb 06, 2005 4:01 am Yes, I disabled the forum a few hours back, cause I was making sure the forum had a clean copy that wasn't infected.
And don't worry, our site itself does not infect peoples computer who're using this website. But it wasn't nice to know that the virus, used this webspace to download some components... It's annoying not to be the server mannager itself... so nothing much we can do right now expect hoping that fixing all the things on our webspace is all that's needed (and hoping the server itself isn't screwed)... I hope to move this site to a diffrent webhosting company soon. I'm planning to release a press release related to this later this week. UPDATE, All problems fixed  so don't worry about anything._________________ Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible. - Lord Kelvin, 1892 Last edited by Sigurd on Sun Feb 20, 2005 11:52 pm, edited 1 time in total. |

Posted on: Sun Feb 06, 2005 5:03 am It's healthy paranoia to check after reading about something like this.
This PC (my secondary) has been infected by a website (swg.stratics.com) before. Switched to Firefox and haven't had much problem since, but I'm still somewhat paranoid about things after that. _________________ "Floating down the sound resounds around the icy waters underground.." |
