Info On the April Fools Day Virus

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

A computer-science detective story is playing out on the Internet as security experts try to hunt down a worm called Conficker C and prevent it from damaging millions of computers on April Fool’s Day.

This piece of computer code tells the worm to activate on April 1, 2009, researchers at CA found.

This piece of computer code tells the worm to activate on April 1, 2009, researchers at CA found.

The anti-worm researchers have banded together in a group they call the Conficker Cabal. Members are searching for the malicious software program’s author and for ways to do damage control if he or she can’t be stopped.

They’re motivated in part by a $250,000 bounty from Microsoft and also by what seems to be a sort of Dick Tracy ethic.

“We love catching bad guys,” said Alvin Estevez, CEO of Enigma Software Group, which is one of many companies trying to crack Conficker. “We’re like former hackers who like to catch other hackers. To us, we get almost a feather in our cap to be able to knock out that worm. We slap each other five when we’re killing those infections.”

The malicious program already is thought to have infected between 5 million and 10 million computers.

Those infections haven’t spawned many symptoms, but on April 1 a master computer is scheduled to gain control of these zombie machines, said Don DeBolt, director of threat research for CA, a New York-based IT and software company.

What happens on April Fool’s Day is anyone’s guess.

Q10-Fast Food Horror Story

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

Two employees of a Wendy’s Restaurant in Moundsville, Ohio, were suspended from their jobs after a sheriff’s deputy said he found pubic hair on his sandwich Sunday, Steubenville television station WTOV reported.

According to the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department, the deputy opened his sandwich and spotted a ball of pubic hair. Later, Wendy’s employees Thomas Bender and Joshua Monroe confessed to the crime and said they purposely targeted the officer, Chief Deputy Kevin Cecil said. Cecil said the 32-year-old Bender admitted to putting hair on the food, and Monroe, 20, admitted that he encouraged Bender to do it. Restaurant owner Ben Thompson said it appears to be an isolated incident and the company is cooperating with the sheriff’s department. “The key thing for us is food safety. We view a big difference between a systemic food safety issue, which we are confident this is not the case, and an issue where an individual would tamper with food,” Thompson said. As for the health risk associated with the incident, health officials said there is not a very high chance of a disease spreading. “There’s really probably not a whole lot of disease that can be spread,” said Ronda Francis of the Marshall County Health Department. Charges of food tampering charges are pending for Bender, police said. Monroe could be charged with aiding and abetting or conspiracy.Deputies are waiting for Bender’s blood test results. If he has any diseases, the misdemeanor charge will be escalated to a felony.
