AGENT BTZ Virus / Worm in the Pentagon computers
The pentagon is confiscating employees flash drives and DVDs because of the AGENT.BTZ Virus. The virus is a variation of the “SillyFDC” worm, which has been around since about 2005 and spreads by copying itself to flash drives and then replicates onto any computer that device is plugged into.
You should always scan attachments and schedule a virus scan on your computer. You should also be very careful if you work on someones computer that have a virus on it. I would say that you should have atleast two thumb drives one for personal use and one for when working on infected computers becuse you don’t want to bring it home with you.
The pentagon also needs needs to work with their antivirus company to get them the definitions faster. They need to have their virus definitions automatically downloaded and distrubted to the the clients on the network. It is kind of crazy if you tell me. They also say that other countries are scanning them to find a wholes on their networks. We should also be doing the same thing as the other countries. That is what I think.
