ResumoAbstract Mydoom.A has surpassed the infamous SoBig.F worm by spreading more copies of itself in a shorter period of time. SoBig worms were progressive, released carefully over several months. Mydoom worms were rapidly released within just hours of each other. This led to a highly successful attack. Mass hijacking of Mydoom.A computers took place. Proxies opened by the worm were used to send out spam. Mydoom worms followed. Is this a pattern for the future? Will more worms like this soon emerge?
