Hello Charter Pipeline Customers,
In the last week, we have seen the constant rise of bandwidth usage by the peer to peer application "KaZaA". This rise in bandwidth usage is mostly attributed to a targeted virus,"Worm.Kazaa.Benjamin", that affects computers attached to that applications network. Here is an explanation of the virus from the Kaspersky Anti Virus website:
"On an infected computer "Benjamin" creates a directory accessible to other users of the KaZaA network and regularly copies itself into this directory under a multitude of different names, the amount of which counts several thousand. When a network user conducts a search for a file under a name corresponding with one the worm's pseudonyms the unsuspecting user is given the chance to download it from the infected computer. Thus, this is how Benjamin spreads itself through the KaZaA network." |
