Imitation has always been a form of flattery, and that’s particularly true for the cybercrime ecosystem. From the lone Chinese cybercriminals releasing DIY tools for generating malware actively exploiting the MS08-067 flaw, followed by the original Conficker worm, Microsoft’s MMPC (Malware Protection Center) is reporting on a currently spreading Conficker copycat detected as Worm:Win32/Neeris.gen!C.

Why do people find it so fun to mess with other people's computers and try and mess them up? That is something I will never understand.
