    Wyrms, Worms and more Wurms - this from ExtremeTech:

    It's been another busy week, with several new LSASS vulnerability-exploiting worms appearing.

    Since Sasser opened the door, we've seen more than a half a dozen new names and several versions of each—Cycle, Gaobot, Bobax, Korgo, Kibuv and Sdbot.

    The Gaobot and Wallon worms also attempt to exploit Windows vulnerabilities from earlier security bulletins. But the most prolific threats are still the e-mail viruses Netsky.P, Bagel.X and Dumaru.
