Worms Invade Corporate Computers, Microsoft Finds
“The Conficker worm may have been something of a letdown for failing to do anything dramatic on April 1, when a code update was supposed to make the malware more dangerous, but its impact on businesses has been significant.
The top threat in enterprise environments during the first half of the year was the Conficker worm, Microsoft says in its Security Intelligence Report (SIRv7), which covers the first six months of 2009.
According to SIRv7, the number of worm infections in enterprise environments — those running Forefront Client Security — doubled from the last half of 2008 through the first half of 2009. During this period, worms rose from fifth most commonly encountered threat category to the second. “
