(National) Storm Worm Now Just A Squall
October 21, IDG News Service –

The Storm Worm’s days may be numbered, according to a University of California researcher. The researcher said that, despite the intense publicity that the Storm network of infected computers has received, it has actually been shrinking steadily and is a shadow of its former self. On Saturday, he presented his findings at the ToorCon hacker conference in San Diego. Storm is not really a computer worm. It is a network of computers that have been infected via malicious e-mail messages and are centrally controlled via the Overnet peer-to-peer protocol. The researcher said he has developed software that crawls through the Storm network and thinks that he has a pretty accurate estimate of how big Storm really is. Some estimates have put Storm at 50 million computers, a number that would give its controllers access to more processing power than the world’s most powerful supercomputer. But the real story is significantly less terrifying, he said. In July, for example, he said that Storm appeared to have infected about 1.5 million PCs, about 200,000 of which were accessible at any given time. He guessed that a total of about 15 million PCs have been infected by Storm in the nine months it has existed, although the vast majority of those have been cleaned up and are no longer part of the Storm network.
