Zombies, Zombies Everywhere And Not A Thought To Think

With the zotob worm running a muck the world's focus has been taken off of the rest of the computer virus, worm, etc. problems. A much less known scourge is the Zombie!!! No, not like the hollywood movie zombie or the hatian bokor created zombie but rather the computer backdoor zombie. Zombies are computers that are used and controlled by crackers. Now these computers can be used to proxy out or even use part of the processor power to work on whatever they want, and according to a news story there are 172,000 new ones each day. NOW, granted the zotob worm is obliterating systems so they can't be zombies but I'd say that roughly 70% of non zotob affected computers are zombies. This means only 30% are in the clear. Are you in the clear? Are you sure?

Sidenote - DON'T MOVE YOUR TASKBAR IF YOU DON'T WANT IT MOVED

ok, more info on zombies here and here

For now, I've praised Zotob because he does what I did. He put the info out there on how to bypass something and OTHER people took advantage of it. What few know is there is a zytob worm as well. This worm was created by the same writer as the mytob worm. I know it's hard to find info on these things unless you know what to look for so I thought I'd help ya a bit ;)

Zotob Exploit
I believe this is the mytob exploit, not sure though...any help with this?

As for the hereafter, I just decided to put links to a lot of random security exploits that Microsoft has found, yet can still be abused because not everyone is able to think properly and update either illegally or legally. In other words, I'ma try to scare the hell outta ya...haha ;)

link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link

Now, thats just scratching the surface, theres hundreds if not thousands more on their site...imagine the ones they haven't found.

Remote Code Execution is when someone else makes your pc do something through a scripting exploit.
Privelage Elevation is when a user logs in and gains admin powers.
System Compromise is when they get control of your machine - zombie
Denial of Service, or DoS, blocks the main user out.

p.s. it was hard as fuck to get each of those exploits individually...took 2 hours, I hope you appreciate this...haha
