2003 was year of the internet worm. Computer worms are still heavily in use, but most worms circulating now are trojans (IRC Bots) which have worm spreading capability - like the ZOTOB worm, MYTOB worm, and lots more. Getting infected with a classic internet worm, years ago, was much less of a compromise - classic worm viruses simply tried to spread.
New worm viruses (worm trojans) are nearly always a trojan designed to infect a lot of machines quickly, so the attacker can sell the now worm BOTNET (group of compromised computers) to the highest bidder. A good example is the worm zotob. These botnets are then used for DDoS attacks, spamming, and other illegal activities. |
