Are You Afraid of the Big Bad Conficker?
March 30th, 2009
So is anyone out there nervous about what networks are going to do on April 1st this year? Is Conficker going to rip apart the Internet? If you’re not aware of what Conficker is, here’s some detailed analysis from SRI about a worm that people think is going to unleash a nasty attack come April 1st. I think it’s nerve racking for the average network admin. We’ve already had to live through streaming events like the presidential inauguration of Barak Obama which caused a 3x increase over the average in transit consumption for my network that day. What is everyone out there doing to prepare for the next rumored incoming threat? Let’s hope it’s a non-starter like a lot of these scares have been in the past.
