(((((be aware))))))FW: McAfee SNS Notice: Variants of Pinkslipbot Worm

A warning notice from McAfee

The Pinkslipbot worm (aka Qakbot, Akbot, Qbot) is capable of spreading over network shares, downloading files, and updating its software. Additionally, it is capable of receiving back door commands from its IRC command and control center. It attempts to steal user information and upload it to FTP sites.



Pinkslipbot has been reported to be propagated by exploiting web-related vulnerabilities, over open shares such as C$ and ADMIN$, and over USB and removable drives. It also has been known to install a rootkit component to hide its presence.

Further information about the worm, its propagation, mitigation, and remediation are available in KnowledgeBase article PD22960:
