the last confickr pandemic, to show some of u what it can really do...

Confickr is a little more than two weeks old and has infected an estimated nine million machines, confounding security experts on how to handle one of the worst worm outbreaks in years, DarkReading.com reports.

Security officials said the situation is unique because worms weren't considered as an effective way to make money in cybercrime, according to the article. However, the hackers behind the massive worm have devised an innovative way to spread the attack, making it hard to catch and quarantine.

Instead of using spam emails, the worm initially attacked the Microsoft MS08-067 vulnerability in Windows, allowing it to infiltrate network security. This allowed the worm to spread through open network shares, weak passwords and removable USB drives.

The Microsoft vulnerability had a patch, released last October, that halted the attack. However, the added element of the USB drives made it possible for the worm to infiltrate patched machines as well.

Some businesses and organizations that have tried to update their antivirus product have also run into problems. Confickr prevents already-compromised machines from getting fixed by blocking access to Microsoft's websites and disabling the automatic update function

Still, that was a guess by those so-called "experts" who just likes the hysteria of people and the attention of media to theirselves.

The Conficker worm may have infected more machines than previously thought, according to Internet infrastructure provider OpenDNS.

The company said Wednesday that 500,000 of its users have been infected with the latest variant of the worm, called Conficker.C. OpenDNS has more than 10 million users worldwide, the company said.

OpenDNS wouldn't say exactly what percentage of its users were infected by the worm, but the Conficker.C infections it counted were much higher than expected, according to David Ulevitch, the founder of OpenDNS.

Conficker.C began using a new algorithm on Wednesday to look for instructions from its creator, prompting speculation that it might be readying for an attack. According to security experts, however, the worm has been quiet so far.

Previous estimates had placed the number of Conficker infections, including all variants, at anywhere between a few million and 10 million PCs, but according to Ulevitch the worm is "probably bigger than people think, based on what we're seeing here."

OpenDNS is used by just a tiny fraction of the Internet's estimated 1.5 billion users, so its numbers provide a tiny picture of a much larger population.

The company tracked Conficker.C infections by analyzing the DNS (Domain Name System) requests made on its network and looking for a special pattern of DNS lookups that is unique to the worm. It did not provide data on the number of computers infected by older versions of the worm, known as Conficker.A and Conficker.B.

According to OpenDNS, Vietnam has been hardest hit by the worm, with 13 percent of the total infections it tracked. The countries with the next-largest number of infections are Brazil, the Philippines, Indonesia and Algeria.
