I work for a small college -- we actually got a couple letters from the FBI alerting us that somebody on our network was infected by this. We then had to some internal sleuthing to hunt down who was participating, and more importantly, stop it from happening. We also wanted to know if the actions were intentional.
All the information we could find on this was from 2007-2009. It seemed like this software was out-of-date and no longer in the wild. So I always wondered why we were being contacted, especially now.
This write-up was greatly appreciated as it finally shed some light on why were contacted about it -- and more so, how the FBI were involved.
- freehunter 15y agoSame thing happened where I work. We got the notice, checked through our logs, found that someone on our guest network had the virus in 2010, and was only connected for less than 10 minutes. They're sending the notices to every C net that has hit their temporary servers since they set them up.
