The details of the new virus are as follows (as at 1500 GMT, 17th March 2003): Virus name: W32/Ganda.A-mm Aliases: WORM.SwedenSux Number of copies seen so far: 3 Date first Captured: 16th Mar 2003, 10:19 GMT Origin of first intercepted copy: Sweden Number of countries seen active: 1 Most active countries: Sweden Technical Details On 16th March 2003, MessageLabs stopped the first copy of a new virus. Initial analysis suggests that this is a mass-mailing virus that is capable of propagating using email. Ganda.A uses its own SMTP email engine and appears to gather email addresses from the recipients’ Microsoft Outlook address book. It attempts to drops itself to c:\windows\scandisc.exe, and c:\windows \????????.exe (where ?? are seemingly random characters). It also contains a number of static email addresses that it uses when attempting to send malicious content. Initial analysis would also suggest that the sender’s from: address is not spoofed.
