HOW TO GET INFECTED
You can get infected by executable files such
as .exe, .vbs, .com, and .bat. But some docu-
ments can infect you even if the file is not
executable (for example, a document).
10,560,000 COMPUTERS

known to have been infected by malware,
specifically by a Trojan Horse.
PAYLOADS

destruction, remote accessing (spying), auto

Great site on an in-depth explanation of
Worm viruses, and how they specifi-
cally work.
HOW IT IS SPREAD
Worms exploit a vulnerability on target computer by
tricking users into opening their program. For exam-
ple, fake versions of Adobes Flash player or any other
program that is not straight from the publisher web-
site can potentially harm your computer.
SAPPHIRE/SQL
SLAMMER
This virus was introduced and created in 2003 and
spread to half the computers in America in less than
15 minutes. It is a web server computer worm that
dramatically slowed down internet traffic and dou-
bled its targets (exponential growth). It exploited a
buffer overflow bug in Microsofts SQL server which
practically all the computers at the time used.
WHAT IT AFFECTED
Many commercial services such as ATM machine,
some 911 services in Seattle and the Continental Air-
lines has been affected by the virus. All-in-all this has
caused over $1 billion in damages. The only way you
can get infected is through chance as the virus
spread, and once you got it there was nothing you
could do about it.
WORMS
A nasty, nasty virus that comes in the name of
Worm. This type of virus hates your computer
and replicates copies of itself . Because a warm is
hosted from a standalone file (one file), it does
not require any other type of software or human
assistance.
Worms exploits loopholes in security systems by
searching for unprotected or outdated systems.
Each unprotected system found, the worm would
replicate itself automatically.
CODE RED WORM
This virus was created in 2001 and searched for
unprotected/outdated servers to infected them.
The virus did 3 things:
The virus replicated itself
replaced web pages with Hacked by Chi-
nese
Attempted to attack the white house
This virus infected over 360,000 throughout its
lifetime.
