AN ANTI virus company has found a message inside a Netsky worm variant that warns of trouble today. Panda Software said that the text tucked inside the Netsky.k worm, which first appeared Monday, indicates a new attack. The text says that the 11th of March is "skynet day", referring to the name of the software, which took over the world in the flick Terminator 3. Panda reckon that the Netsky author plans another wave of attacks as he frequently calls himself "Skynet" or "Skynet AntiVirus."
In Netsky.k, the hacker went on to take MyDoom's and Bagle's creators to task. "When the beagle and mydoom loose, we wanna stop our activity. thats now. And personal words to mydoom: Your are so [obscenity omitted] i never seen in my life."
