Zobot worms target Windows 2000 hole
eWeek | at | by Mike
Less than a week after Microsoft patched a critical hole in a common Windows service, a new worm is circulating that exploits the hole in unpatched Windows 2000 systems and uses it to proliferate.
Two new variants of the worm, "Zotob.A," and "Zotob.B" appeared on Saturday and use code released on the Internet last week for attacking a hole Microsoft patched on Aug. 9 in the Windows Plug and Play service.
