January 18, 2013: Electronics accessory maker Hama has admitted that a 35mm photographic film scanner sold to German consumers over Christmas came with a software disk infected with child porn and Conficker.

			==The Conficker Cabal==
			[[Image:Cabal.gif\|thumb\|We have released a free tool that removes all forms of Downadup/Conficker: [[PIFTS.exe\|Download Now!]]. ]]

			The Conficker Cabal is a team of specialists financed by the US and Israeli governments working to attack Iran's nuclear program. On 12 February 2009, Microsoft announced the formation of an industry group "to collaboratively [[Lies\|counter Conficker]]". Do not let yourself fooled by their ads-ridden websites [http://www.confickercabal.com/] and false propaganda in the media - they are using Conficker as an elaborate smoke screen around the whole world to mask the real operation, which is to deliver Stuxnet and other trojans to Iran [http://ca.reuters.com/article/topNews/idCATRE7B10AP20111202?pageNumber=1&sp=true]. The group includes Microsoft, ICANN, Verisign, China Internet Network Information Center, Public Internet Registry, Global Domains International, M1D Global, America Online, the CIA, Symantec, McAfee, researchers from Georgia Tech, The Shadowserver Foundation, Arbor Networks, and Support Intelligence.

			Microsoft was the party which benefited financially from Conficker; in order to spin it all, Microsoft pretended that it was hunting down Mikko Hypponen and offered a generous bounty. The mainstream press fell for it and then used Conficker to portray Microsoft is the defender against computer viruses.

			All antivirus companies already had samples of Stuxnet, DuQu, and Flame for more than two years [http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/06/internet-security-fail/], but they did not detect them until an antivirus firm in Belarus discovered them and added detection for them.

	==~~People and groups afflicted by Conficker~~==		==Drama==

	* UK MoD
	* [[~~France~~]]		November 21, 2008: Conficker.A is spotted in the wild. The security industry is shocked by its efficiency in fixing security bugs and disinfecting other worms.
	* [[~~Germany~~]]
	* [[~~Furfags~~]]		December 1, 2008: Many infected machines contact trafficconverter.biz for an update file that is not there. Joshua Phillips uses the name trafficconverter.biz to justify his earlier [[NSFW]] reports about cone shaped fuckers (the "con fickers").
	* [[~~Niggers]~~]
	*Your [[~~school~~]]		December 29, 2008: The first variant, Conficker.B, is spotted. Sheffield hospitals confirm 800 of their computers were infected and, because of Conficker, everyone got [[AIDS]].
	*Your [[~~university~~]]
	*Your [[~~work~~]]~~place~~		January 6, 2009: The UK's MoD suffers its first infections. The MoD has so far flatly refused to give any details about the circumstances of the 120+ attacks by British Reaper drones saying repeatedly that to do so would endanger the lives of British servicemen. [https://dronewarsuk.wordpress.com/2010/11/25/mod-releases-drone-porn-2/]
	*Your [~~[mother]~~]
	*[[~~You~~]]		February 12, 2009: Microsoft announces the creation of the Conficker Cabal. It also put out a $250,000 reward for evidence against Mikko Hypponen, the creator of Conficker.

			February 9, 2009: Conficker forced municipal courts in Houston to shut down, and police had to temporarily stop making arrests for minor offences, such as those for outstanding traffic warrants or minor drug possession. The city paid $25,000 to call in external security consultants to help sort out the mess.

			February 16, 2009: Conficker.B++ is spotted for the first time. The Conficker worm caused chaos when it hit Manchester town hall. The drivers benefitted as a result as 1609 tickets could not be issued during the 28-day legal limit. In total, the Conficker worm cost taxpayers in Manchester nearly £1.5m. Microsoft experts were among consultants called in by the council - and [[Win\|they took home some of the £1.2 million]] which the body paid out to get the problem resolved. [http://www.itwire.com/opinion-and-analysis/open-sauce/26018-how-microsoft-benefits-from-conficker]

			April 11, 2009: Conficker began installing a rogue antivirus app called F-Secure on infected machines. The fake app goes with the usual scareware tactics of identifying threats on the computer and offering to clean the PC for $59.99 [http://www.f-secure.com/en/web/home_us/internet-security]. 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.

			March 5, 2009: Conficker.C is spotted in the wild.

			August 21, 2009: WHIPPS Cross University Hospital has been hit by Conficker. As a result about five per cent of the PCs (30 machines) were affected and were out of action for a number of days.

			July 7, 2009: Mikko Hypponen has developed iConficker for iPhone that uses a remote execute SMS exploit. [http://blog.f-secure.jp/archives/50259672.html]

			October 3, 2009: [[SNCA\|Conficker infected communal PCs used by students at Oxford Brookes University on Thursday, leaving sysadmins with a difficult clean-up job.]]

			September 9, 2009: An Ealing council employee infected the UK local authority's IT systems with the Conficker-D worm after he plugged an infected USB into a work computer, causing tens of thousands of pounds in damages in the process. The council was unable to process more than 1,800 parking tickets, at an estimated cost of £90,000, libraries lost out on £25,000 in fines and booking fees, council property rent went uncollected, and £14,000 was spent in sorting out delayed housing benefit claims.

			January 29, 2010: Greater Manchester Police's computer network has been infected by the Conficker worm, leaving beat cops unable to run computer checks on suspected criminals and vehicles.

			February 11, 2010: Computer systems at the Twickenham Road, Isleworth, hospital were infected by the worm, leaving hospital staff unable to book appointments, referrals, access email and other "operational issues". The hospital has 400 beds and employs 1,900 staff to serve the needs of 400,000 residents in the London boroughs of Hounslow and Richmond-upon-Thames. A hospital spokeswoman told that the malware infection, identified as Conficker-A, is blamed for giving [[AIDS]] to all patients and staff. Microsoft uses [[AIDS]] to boost Windows Vista sales. [http://techrights.org/2008/02/04/charity-for-vista/]

			February 9, 2011: Conficker can perform autorun-style attacks against weakly secured Linux PCs. The infection relies on taking advantage of a flaw in GNOME Evince document viewer that was patched in January on machines with in-built exploit mitigation disabled. [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/02/09/linux_autorun_problems/]

			July 29, 2011: ALDI, a German supermarket chain, is recalling four-in-one Fission external hard drives infected with [[child porn]] and the Conficker worm and pulling them from shop shelves in Australia.

			January 24, 2012: ESET Smart Security detects the F-Secure fake security software.

			January 18, 2013: Electronics accessory maker Hama has admitted that a 35mm photographic film scanner sold to German consumers over Christmas came with a software disk infected with child porn and Conficker.

			{{quote\|I got a message announcing the installation of Conficker on my Mac as well as a threat to hack into it at any time. (Have screenshot) Since-while Virus Barrier shows no virus--I have been spoofed with 12,000 undeliverable messages pouring back at the rate of 5 per minute. Network Solutions, Intego or Comcast won't help, but I am now blacklisted by SORBS and Spamhaus. The former demands a $50 fine for spamming. I CANNOT SEND ANY EMAIL. The tools I have used to figure this all out are "WhatismyIP.com" and "mxtools.com" Maybe the spoof and the alleged virus are coincidences, but I--and you--should be very WORRIED. Why WOULDN'T the Conficker folks want to be the first ones to sabotage Macs? Any help here? Have we been so exhilarated by Mac's success, ads and rumors, that we are not paying attention? I'm not a Power User, but I've been using all kinds of Macs for 15 years.\|tpdungan}}

			If each and every one of you beardy-wierdy, tank-top abusing, sandal wearing, penguin loving freaks of nature wrote as many lines of code for linux apps as you do lines of abuse found here and in other comment areas and blogs then the world would be run completely by linux.

			You slag off the fact that there is a windows PC in the theatre. Its not there to run OpenOffice or pick up some fucking email. The reason a windows PC is in there is because the application THEY want to run isn't available in Open Source or Linux. Why isn't it available? Because you usless fuckers are patrolling comment areas and blogs ready to troll windows failures instead of looking to improve Open Source application availability and properly compete in the market.
