Conficker worm is up to mischief again

For a long time it was quiet about the Conficker worm. He was almost forgotten and everyone thought he had vanished into thin air.

Conficker is back

Conficker now reported back all the more impressively.

Conficker has attacked the Manchester Police Department's computer network.

The officers no longer have access to the agency's central computer.

Although the city administration also had to struggle with Conficker in 2009 and had to pay more than 1 million euros to clean their systems, the city's next authority is now in the spotlight.

After all computer networks of the authorities have been backed up and cleaned, it seems as if an officer himself caused an infestation using a private USB stick.

Even though this use of USB sticks has been expressly forbidden.
