- MyDoom is far more than a poorly-written DDoS zombie
-
You do a disservice to your readers by implying that the only capabilities MyDoom has are self-propagation and an attack on the SCO website.
It also:
1) opens a backdoor that permits anyone to install and run any program on the infected computer. This is already being exploited by the "doomjuice" worm.
2) installs a keylogger which can trap and report sensitive personal information such as passwords and credit card numbers.
3) acts as a spam relay.
MyDoom's threat has not passed...
Everyone: PLEASE update your antivirus software's signatures. PLEASE run a full antivirus scan. PLEASE visit Windows Update and install all the Critical Updates. And PLEASE STOP OPENING UNEXPECTED E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS.
