Sober.Y containment

It seems to be hard getting a lid on this virus. Its been going strong for a while now and doesn't seem to be slowing down !

Haven't received one since the 24th of Nov.

 

Check this out.

The virus radar is something I check frequently. I keep expecting to see a rapid decline in sober y.

 

I was waiting to see when that happens as well. Its staying power has been pretty impressive.

one of the biggest problems I think is that clamAV hasn't updated to contain it - that's one of the most used AV solutions in web hosting, and I think that accounts for a huge number of mailservers around the globe... but that's my "opinion" - not based on any facts...

 

Encore scheduled for January 5th. http://www.it-observer.com/articles.php?id=972

 

This should be interesting. Last time I checked, Sober.Y was going stronger than it ever was.

 

In some parts of the world maybe. That's why a map would be good like some other Av's provide. Perhaps using Threat Sense data.

 

I read somewhere that Cdns rank right up there when it comes to internet use.
Having something like virus radar for our area would be nice. Other AVs haven't downgraded Sober yet... its been consistent.
