Internet Storm Center: More on MS04-007

Port 80 and 445 activity
Dshield showed a huge spike in port 80 and 445 traffic on Saturday which appears to be slowing down again. This may have been due to scanning for (or actual denial of service attempts for) the MS04-007 vulnerability.

From the mailbag An e-mail message making the rounds claims that the recipient is under "police investigation" and gives a link to follow for more information. This link downloads a Trojan onto the user's computer. The site (federalpolice.com) is still live at the time of this writing.
