Update:
Apparently this thing is sooo out of control.. Microsoft now has a bounty on it.
Microsoft dangles $250,000 carrot for capture of Conficker creator
15 million PC's infected with Confliker
All I can say about this one is that it takes advantage of weak passwords like "123456" and "password".
wow.. I'm not using those passwords for any systems again.
update: Forget about what I just said about easy passwords, this sucker has a built in password cracker!
"The worm also has a password-cracker that is adept at cracking administrative accounts or other computers, though very strong passwords should make that much harder, Cross says."
