Special Report: Conficker’s 10th anniversary

Published: Nov. 22, 2018, 2 p.m.

On this week’s episode of the Cyber Security Brief, Brigid O Gorman is joined by Candid Wueest to discuss the infamous Conficker worm, which marks its 10th anniversary this week. This worm first appeared on November 21, 2008, and despite the many changes that have occurred in the cyber security landscape since then we still see hundreds and thousands of detections of Conficker in the wild today. As well as Conficker, we also discuss some of the other old threats that are still around today – and speculate as to whether any of today’s threats are likely to have similar longevity.
