Conficker creating havoc in Karachi Pakistan
Conficker has been spreading itself very rapidly in our part of the world. Because of mass use of pirated versions of windows and people not using windows update.
Whole networks are down as I write this and businesses have already reported losses amounting to millions of rupees because of these recent attacks.
PTCL, the largest telecom provider was also not spared and people had to wait a few hours just to get the same response from their support people, that format your pc and download and patch for this worm from our website. At one point, they just played the same recording to everyone calling them for support
I’ll be honest with you, some of my clients, who I do consulting with were spared, even though PTCL DSL service was severely hampered. I would like to take the credit for implementing enough security on their systems so they were spared.
1. Having licensed windows is the first step, then windows update to the latest patches.
2. Having updated antivirus software with latest updates.
3. Having malware protection and / or spyware protection, windows defender a good choice.
4. Having Malicious Software Removal Tool installed on user systems.
I am available for consulting if your network is still down.
