#1: Variants of Bagle Trojan!! Author: RCAF_MadDog, Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2005 12:58 pm ---- Watchdog-attacking Bagle ramps up
A new variant of Bagle is spreading rapidly, security companies have warned.
Rather than being a mass-mailing worm, BagleDl-L is a Trojan horse that damages security applications and attempts to connect with a number of Web sites. It has been sent via spam lists to millions of addresses in the past 12 hours, said security company McAfee, which has upgraded it to a "medium" risk.
The new variant could also have boosted overall Bagle traffic, which has increased five times in the past 24 hours, e-mail security vendor Postini said Tuesday.
