CERT Warns on Latest Trojan Horse Attacks

David Needle writes in internetnews.com:

CERT (the US Computer Emergency Readiness Team), issued an alert today [8 July, 2005] warning of heightened trojan virus attacks against companies and individuals. While there were numerous reports of slowdowns at various Web sites, the cause has largely been attributed to increased Web use following the Live8 multi-venu concert event and the terrorist bombings in London.

Ken Silva, chief security officer at Verisign, referred to the CERT alert and said the slowness among some corporate Web sites today is due to targeted trojan horse attacks.
