Hi all,

If your day went like mine then you must be beat, phew, what a week so far.

It’s 3am and i’m scanning the wires, net and blogs to see what’s up with Conficker so far. All is well and from the looks of things you still have time to get those patches loaded, get that anti-virus/anti-malware loaded, configured and run a full/deep scan.

I just completed a full scan of my network and double checked my logs and settings and everything looks ok. We’re still early into the day and so who knows.

For those who are saying it could be a joke/hoax and not preparing for it,
What if it isn’t?
Would you want to be prepared even if it isn’t?

I see that the anti-virus vendors have been busy. Some have released 4-6 new definition updates over the past 12 hrs and that’s a good sign. It means they are still working diligently on helping us stay secure. By the time it hits morning here in the US everyone should be running some April 1st 2009 definitions as I expect there will be at least 1 or 2 within the first 8hrs. If you’re not running with an April 1st def, then make sure you’re at least at March 31st after running an auto update for definitions.

I haven’t slept since Saturday just from prepping for today and helping people get their systems patched, updated and secured but I am surely going to catch a few zzzzzzz in a few.

The day is young, be safe than sorry, patch and secure up and rest well.

Until later when I rise,

The IT Security Attaché
