MiMail worm uses ZIP files to terrorise corporations
A new variant of the 'MiMail' worm, version C to be exact, is spreading fast across the world, according to security firm iDefence. This particular variant cleverly hides itself in a zip file, for which the file type, by most corporations, is freely allowed to be transferred accross their networks. The best way to protect yourself, if your virus protection software has the ability to scan compressed archives, is to make sure that that particular function is enabled.
[blockquote]MiMail.C has a DDoS component to attack DarkProfits domains and there's likely to be increased activity on Port 80, according to Ken Dunham a security officer at the firm.
...
MiMail.C "has the upper hand when infiltrating networks configured to allow ZIP attachments".[/blockquote]
