- 01-27-04 MyDoom Virus Fast Spreading (ABC News)
"Network administrators were working to stop a fast-spreading e-mail worm that looks like a normal error message but actually contains a malicious program that spreads itself and installs a program that leaves an open door to infected computers."
The worm called "Mydoom," "Novarg" or "WORM MIMAIL.R" was replicating itself so quickly that some corporate networks were clogged with infected traffic within hours of its appearance Monday. Its mail engine could send out 100 infected e-mail messages in 30 seconds, experts said."
"Unlike other mass-mailing worms, Mydoom does not attempt to trick victims by promising nude pictures of celebrities or mimicking personal notes. Instead, one of its messages reads: 'The message contains Unicode characters and has been sent as a binary attachment.' " 1-04
