Zafi.B: newest e-worm threat
p2pnet.net News:- There's an e-bug going round in Canada (and probably everywhere else) which among other things, has a .pif attachment telling anyone who makes the mistake of opening it, "Don't worry be happy."
But, Do Worry. Don't be happy. Because Zafi.B, the latest rendition of Hungary's Zafi.A and Erkez, among other names, will shanghai your email application.
And it has a fondness for p2p applications.
Of Zafi.A, F-Secure said here, "The worm sends emails only to addresses that end with .hu so it is not likely to spread outside Hungary. Zafi was programmed to be active only in April and will cease to work starting from the 1st of May."
However, that was then and it's now a major problem here in Canada, where I'm based. A source at a major Canadian ISP told me Zafi.B is clogging the pipelines but good and slowing things down in a major way.
