| Sophos Warns of
USB Worm Abingdon, UK - May 4, 2007 - Anti-virus company Sophos has warned of a family of worms that spreads by copying itself onto removable drives such as USB memory sticks, and then automatically runs when the device is next connected to a computer. The W32/SillyFD-AA worm hunts for removable drives such as USB memory sticks, and then creates a hidden file called autorun.inf to ensure a copy of the worm is run the next time it is connected to a Windows PC. It also changes the title of Internet Explorer windows to append the phrase "Hacked by 1BYTE". Sophos experts advise that users disable the autorun facility of Windows so removable storage devices don't automatically launch when they are attached to a PC. ...Sophos, Storage Security New Version of UltraBac Bellevue, Wash. - May 3, 2007 - UltraBac Software today announced the release of UltraBac Version 8.2 with major enhancements, including file-by-file backup support for Volume Shadow Copy Service, Secure FTP, and a brand new SharePoint Server Agent.
