“PCs Used in Korean DDoS Attacks May Self Destruct
Via Washington Post -”
SNIPPET: “According to Joe Stewart, director of malware research at SecureWorks, the malware that powers this attack — a version of the Mydoom worm — is designed to download a payload from a set of Web servers. Included in that payload is a Trojan horse program that overwrites the data on the hard drive with a message that reads “memory of the independence day,” followed by as many “u” characters as it takes to write over every sector of every physical drive attached to the compromised system.
Stewart said he tested the self-destruct Trojan in his lab and found that it indeed erases the hard drive on the compromised system. For now, however, the Mydoom component isn’t triggering that feature.
“One possibility is there’s a bug in the code and it’s supposed to run but it doesn’t,” Stewart said. “Or, there may be a time factor involved, where it’s not supposed to erase the hard drive until a certain time.””
