Surviving Conficker- Now What?
It’s April 2nd. If you are reading this message then the Conficker apocalypse was a failure and the world as we know it did not end. Whew! Dodged that bullet.
Ok. So….now what? Do we just pretend Conficker never existed and blame 60 Minutes, Good Morning America, and the Today Show for making a much bigger deal out of it than was necessary? No. Conficker is a threat. Perhaps even a significant threat. It is just not the apocalyptic kind of threat that everyone was predicting for April 1st.
The fact is that millions of PC’s remain infected with Conficker and lie dormant awaiting instructions from their malicious master. It is a mercenary army for hire capable of launching a variety of attacks. April 1st is gone, but you need to make sure your PC is not already compromised and take steps to ensure your PC remains uncompromised. Read Surviving Conficker Worm to learn more about the threat and what you should do now.
