New Variant of Code Red Virus Sighted
A new and possibly more virulent version of the“Code Red”computer worm was detected circulating the Internet over the weekend, attacking machines and leaving them vulnerable to other intruders, The Systems Administration, Networking and Security Institute (SANS) reported.
Code Red surreptitiously infects computers running Microsoft Corp.'s Windows NT or 2000 operating systems and its IIS Web server software and then makes infected machines scan the Internet for more victims.
If the new worm spreads as quickly as last week's Code Red outbreak, hundreds of thousands of Web sites could be left open to computer hackers. Machines that had already been“patched”with Microsoft software aimed at thwarting the virus were not vulnerable to the new Code Red, computer experts said.
美国美国系统管理网络和安全研究院(SANS)报告称，“红色代码”电脑病毒的一个新变体已经在互联网上被发现，这种新变体可能比原来的“红色代码”更厉害，它的破坏力在于可以使感染该病毒的电脑失去防毒能力，而更容易被其他病毒侵袭。
“红色代码”专门攻击微软公司的Windows NT、Windows 2000，以及IIS网络服务器软件，然后通过被感染的电脑传播给网上的其他机器。
如果这种新的蠕虫病毒的传播速度像“红色代码”一样快，成千上万的网站将在“黑客”的攻击下失去全部防御力。不过电脑专家称，那些已经装有防“红毒”软件的机器不容易受到“红色代码”病毒新变体的感染。
