Heads up, we got a bad one going around

W32/Yaha.k
more info @: http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_99918.htm


Its up to number five on the charts at Symantec, with Opaserv k in sixth
(also an L and M variant on the loose)
I hear its a nasty, but opaserv k looks far worse.  It formats the drive and
flashes the BIOS and does it fast.( worm then runs C:\Boot.exe to reboot the
system, at which time the payload runs. It overwrites the boot section of
the hard drive, deletes the CMOS, and destroys all data on the hard drive.)
Distribution is rated high for yaha.

Do not open any funny looking e-mail

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
