Got Kraken?
Out of the RSA Conference, there is news that there is a new botnet in town, over twice the size of the Storm Worm in town called Kraken. Researchers from Damballa have discovered and tracked it the last two weeks and I'm guessing from news reports have presented their findings at RSA. If you have details of this worm, detection mechanisms, malware samples, etc, please send us some.

P.S. Humorous note... everytime I hear the word Kraken, I think of Ask A Ninja's review of Pirates of the Carribean. I think it's funny at least. No, you can't have that 5 minutes back.

"Born out of the College of Computing at the Georgia Institute ofTechnology, Damballa is looking to take on this problem." While there are some other IP addresses that have been contacted, this address is the most consistent and it makes me wonder what's going on at GIT or should I say Damballa Institute of Technology. Is this some clever scheme to dig up customers or are we being snake bit and not really knowing it?
