It seems that more people are suffering from this specific virus, reason to pass along the experience of CERT-UvA right away without the pretentions of giving a complete analysis. =============================================================================== De Universiteits Bibliotheek van de Universiteit van Amsterdam is vandaag (vrijdag de 13e) getroffen door het TS1423 virus. Degene die de fileservice vanuit de UB gebruiken worden geadviseerd hun gebruikers te waarschuwen en hun media te scannen op bovenstaand virus. De aan te raden oplossing is de schijf te formatteren of minimaal alle *.exe, *.com files te removen. Er wordt nog gezocht naar andere virusdetectie programma's die mogelijk de virussen kunnen verwijderen. Gebruikte viruspakketten: MCafee (Versie: 1.17) ziet het virus wel, raadt aan om het te deleten en "wipe-ed" het vervolgens niet (file kan teruggehaald worden met bijv. un-delete). Thunderbyte (Versie: 6.31) ziet het virus wel, delete/"wipe-ed" goed. f-prot (Versie: 2.15) ziet het virus niet (noch secure, noch heuristics). ============================================================================== CERT-NL is the Computer Emergency Response Team for SURFnet customers.
