Web Security Tips

Conspiracy theorists love the coming of such events, where they predict the end of the world. Or at least the internet as we know it, for the much studied conficker worm is again set to awaken this April Fools which is a couple of months away yet people are beginning to talk about the possible effects of the said internet worm. From malware to panic-ware, conficker has always been in the sights of the many web security experts who are after the makers of one of the longest running worms in the history of the internet (and of course the $250,000 reward Microsoft is offering for anybody who can point the finger at the people who are responsible for the release of the darned thing has nothing to do with it). They know the worm inside out due to reverse engineering but the most intriguing thing about this one is that there is no name or identifying mark on the code which normal hackers always do. They know the code or the revisions come from Korea but that’s it, no trace, no identifying marks to follow.
