Conflicker Strikes
From the NWC
Network Operations Center (NOC):
Yes, yes indeed. We have Conficker.
All of the wireless touchpanels in the building which use XP (wired apparently OK, wireless, not so much) have been infected. AV guys will be down this afternoon to work on them.
Note that this is pretty much all over campus as well, not just here. If you have users who are wireless that complain about connectivity issues, check them for Conficker first rather than wait for the IT Security MAC lock-out alert – they are kind of busy right now.

Note the connectivity problems that may be occurring with wireless. If you are needing to check your machine. refer to the OU IT help page: OUIT information link

Happy April Fools 2009
Today is the day that the Conficker computer
trojan/worm is to come alive. OUIT has made a
website regarding all aspects
of how to protect or check your machine to see
if it is infected. If you suspect that your
machine may be affected, check out the OUIT information link.
