Zindos' piggyback ride Posted by Gergo @ 17:40 GMT

Zindos and Mydoom.M work together. Mydoom.M laid out the path by infecting a large number of systems and preparing a list of them. Judging from the coding style the two worm were created by the same author, which further emphasizes the idea that this is a two-stage attack.

Zindos hitches a ride on the Mydoom.M highway. It uses the lists and the backdors, prepared by Mydoom.M, to quickly spread and hit its target, which is www.microsoft.com.

Detailed information is has been posted to the Zindos description.
