NEW MALWARE OUT ON THE RANGE


AND THEY CALL IT: "FORT DISCO"



A title that wouldn't fit in with any of John Wayne's westerns, "Fort Disco" was found roaming around in August by Arbor Networks, who estimated it has infected over 25,000 Windows computers as well as being used to guess administrator account passwords on over 6,000 WordPress, Joomla, and Datalife engine websites, and is also being used to attack email and FTP servers with what is called a "Brute-Force Attack".

You can read their report about "Fort Disco" HERE.

'Nuff Said,
