April 1st - Kido Worm Brings Down Entire Internet

Posted By Pete at 8:48 AM, April 2, 2009

No. That didn't quite happen yesterday (thankfully). Based on many reports from media outlets, it sounded like the whole world was coming to an end (remember Y2K?). It was no April Fool's joke either. Truth is, all the Kido worm did was download additional payload hosted by random hard to trace servers. No mass scale DDoS attacks or anything of that nature. But how long will it be before the malware authors flip the switch and wake up the millions of zombies in this enormous botnet? If we can't stop find a way to control and neutralize this worm, the joke will be on us.
