12/26/04: Attackers Apparently Stuck Working Xmas Day
Holiday Attacks Target IE Browser, PHP Servers By Larry Seltzer -- Malware authors on Christmas day left dubious "gift" packages in e-mailboxes across the Internet. Fresh attacks, which took advantage of old Internet Explorer bugs, as well as new versions of the Santy worm fouled the holidays for some Windows users and PHP server admins.
I'm not Christian, but come on! One day off should not hurt anyone. Still, spammers and attackers were out in full force yesterday. It's really quite pathetic. Though it is more than possible that these people just don't celebrate Xmas, I find it more likely that they are mainly just spoiled 15 year olds who take a few minutes to open presents with their families before devoting the rest of the day, like any other day, to their precious computers. Beautiful!
