episode Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 It's not going to be in the definitions if it's a new virus is it ? :laugh: 586387167[/snapback] Yes it is, because it exploits a hole that microsoft has released a patch for already.

Mx Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 They can instantly contain by just blocking TCP ports 445, 8080, and 33333 on their firewall. The virus spreads via those ports.

I would LOVE it if those huge screens they have in the background stopped working. 586387227[/snapback] That would be great. I love how everyone is running around looking at computers in the background. Does CNN have any security at all? This could have been easily stopped.

The virus spreads via those ports. 586387238[/snapback] that won't help if it's already in the system. it will still spread internally, that would only prevent you from getting it.
