Netsky worm still on the wild

Jaschan

Sven Jaschan was arrested more than 2 months ago for allegedly writing and distributing the Netsky and Sasser worms. This guy may now be in safe custody. But the worms are still on the wild, spreading like anything. This is from a guy whose teacher certifies that he is not a bright guy in the class.

According to F-secure 8 out of the top 10 viruses in the wild at the moment are Netsky variants. However the spread of Sasser worm seems to have cooled down a bit.

In fact I am receiving around 200 Netsky infected emails every day. I have had enough and now I have my procmail filtering most of the bad attachments and delivers them straight to /dev/null.
