W32.Novarg.A@mm
W32.Novarg.A@mm is a mass-mailing worm that arrives as an attachment with the file extension .bat, .cmd, .exe, .pif, .scr, or .zip.
When a computer is infected, the worm will set up a backdoor into the system by opening TCP ports 3127 through 3198, which can potentially allow an attacker to connect to the computer and use it as a proxy to gain access to its network resources.

shit happens
Am 04.01.2004 kam IC 1568 von Dresden in Nürnberg eingefahren und es roch etwas am Bahnsteig. Nach Rücksprache mit dem Zugchef erfuhr ich, dass das WC übergelaufen ist. Das Endresultat sah man dann an der Außenwand des VT 612 kleben, der Überlauf befindet sich auf dem Dach.

Despite being one of the main players in the drama, anyone searching for "Hutton inquiry" or "Hutton report" on the UK's most popular search engine Google is automatically directed to a paid-for link to BBC Online's own news coverage of the inquiry.
