That Distant Thunder Is Storm

Ed Moltzen discusses the evolution of the Storm worm:

"The trojan that brought us the "halloween.exe" attacks this week, is showing signs of subtle changes that, at first, make it look like it's becoming more benign. Until the experts looked a little closer...
Marshall Trace, which tracks worldwide spam, is on record with this: 'We estimate that up to 20 percent, perhaps more, of the total spam we see originates from the Storm botnets.'"

We've written about Storm previously; and this probably won't be the last time--these folks are in it for the long haul.
