All, Doubtless you will have seen the below. This report is largely a summary and factual analysis of the collaborative response to Conficker. However, I suspect, it is also a justification for the DNS-CERT proposal (“The Way Forward” – page 15)….possibly the only reason this was drafted and published.

It provides an introduction and brief description of the worm and its evolution, but its primary focus is to piece together the post-discovery and -analysis events, describe the containment measures chronologically, and describe the collaborative effort to contain the spread of the worm. The author captures lessons learned during a containment period spanning nearly a year and describes recent activities that attempt to apply the lessons learned so that the security and DNS communities can be better prepared for future attacks that exploit the global DNS. _____ Sign up for ICANN's Monthly Magazine <http://www.icann.org/magazine/> This message was sent from ICANN News Alert to paul.szyndler@auda.org.au.
