Nugache threatened the throne of Storm

Storm Worm was "honored" to the most dangerous botnet worm in 2007. However, security experts identified it in 2008 that the Storm worm will be hard to hold. A new worm called Nugache is trying to take over the Storm's throne.

Paul Henry, vice president of technology for Secure Computing, said the Nugache worm was discovered about two years ago. Nugache was a computer worm designed to attack instant messaging procedures.

However, last month hackers launched a completely new variant of the Nugache worm with a lot of features similar to the Storm such as encryption, integrated rootkits to conceal traces or spread through malicious web sites. harm. ' This is the Storm's successor who continues to be on the Internet .'

The Nugache worm control mechanism is now also transformed into a peer-to-peer control of decentralized control architecture. This type of control solution will make the security community face many difficulties in taking down botnets built by the system of PCs infected with Nugache.

The security community recommends that business and personal users be careful to avoid becoming a victim of Nugache, do not click on links or refuse to download any unidentified files. Time should regularly update malicious application on PC.
