More than 700 computers at the University of Utah have been infected with the Conficker worm.The hit includes computers at the university’s three hospitals.While this isn’t exactly surprising (this worm is pretty insidious) it should make institutions of all sizes think hard about their IT policies, hardware, and software. There aren’t too many of us who have taken a lunch break in the last few years, so we know that it is all too easy to let patching and updates slide, especially on older machines. Yet any machine running recent Microsoft operating systems that has had patches and updates applied through the end of 2008 should not have been infected with Conficker.More at; http://education.zdnet.com/?p=2388
