A Symantec blog (http://www.symantec.com/connect/de/blogs/qakbot-steals-2gb-confidential-data-week) warns that large parts of the NHS computer network is infected by the Qakbot worm and some types of data are being passed to the exploiter's ftp servers.
QuoteMore alarmingly, the logs show that there is a significant Qakbot infection on a major national health organization network in the UK. This threat has managed to infect over 1,100 separate computers that are spread across multiple subnets within their network. We have attempted to contact the affected parties and have no evidence to show that any customer or patient data has been stolen. Given that these figures are based on the evidence from logs obtained from only two servers over two weeks, the actual numbers may be higher.
:shake: And they wonder why people don't trust their data to be stored on government funded databases.
Who designs systems that don't have even basic protection ?
A committee?
I want to know who comes up with a name like Qakbot :eyebrow:
Someone who can't tell their Ps from their Bs? ;D
