[RC] One Hour Count Down: sobig.F...again - John Teeter

http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/alerts/id/151

Not to be too alarmist, but at 3:00pm EDT today there is (as referenced in the article above) a time triggered action that sobig.F infected machines will initiate. It will contact (one of a set of) external IP address and download an executable (which no one knows what will do) and run the executable on the infected machine.

If you're interested, download something like zoneAlarm (www.zonealarm.com) and block your outgoing IP traffic. Or drop your connection to the net at about that time and see what happens or stick around for the fun....

it may be a long night for many:)
