Except neither Sophos nor Trend are reporting a severe outbreak: http://www.sophos.com/ Click on the links for the three Vote variants and they report just one report of Vote.A and zero of Vote.B and zero of Vote.C http://wtc.trendmicro.com/wtc/ Neither the real-time nor the daily include any flavor of Vote Message Labs reports zero Vote. Very little traffic on ACV and what there is seems to be inquisitive not reporting, alarming or asking for recovery assistance. conclusion: Vote is an artifact of idle journalists needing something to write about. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Personal Privacy 6.5.8 Comment: hacker=cybercriminal--the definition changed; get over it iQCVAwUBO7UwC/GfiIQsciJtAQEC+gP/aPeothGK6oSja+pNaEoVLls6TWASY5aA 21eKTEq9uZLsSh9FqWEP5xA/OqbPVDM5WEeV6LVHf0mbQDdJgnrBetSSHMo8vKJV AjllPbmf0SJEEFknt9fSac0ukFzueK7hTH57+f/kFklPgHeNf+C4GO2TPwoD4P35 4EGtqwcglqY= =LRJp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Regards, David Kennedy CISSP Director of Research Services, TruSecure Corp. http://www.trusecure.com Protect what you connect.
