Researchers at Trend Micro have spotted a new botnet populating via a new Windows worm attack. The botnet has reached 500,000 infected machines so far. The worm exploits the MS08-067 vulnerability that Microsoft patched in its Windows Server service in late October. The attack has spread around the world, to the U.S., China, India, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America. Microsoft last week urged customers to install the update, which protects against the worm and bot infection.”]
