Waiting for the other shoe to drop

Hi folks,

This has been a really busy couple of weeks with hacked websites, new exploits, and improved encryption all over the place... we see most of the different groups working hard with the exception of the Storm guys.

Given how active they've been in the past, creating new lure pages every few days, sending huge amounts of spam, and sometimes creating new versions of their bots every few minutes, one has to wonder where they are?

It'd be nice to think they've given up, and got legit jobs, but one has to wonder if this is simply the proverbial calm before the (new) Storm.

Cheers

Storm in September 07

Hi folks,

Just for grins we made a small vid of a mid-September 07 Storm lure. Their websites have evolved from simple text based "Click-here-to-view-your-ecard" type things to content rich, impressive websites with animated gifs.

There's nothing startling about it, but it's impressive for a pure lure.

Cheers

Roger
