Description: A NEW variant of the MiMail worm family, version C, is proliferating across the world, according to security firm iDefense.
MiMail.C has a DDoS component to attack DarkProfits domains and there's likely to be increased activity on Port 80, according to Ken Dunham a security officer at the firm.
He says it's dangerous for corporation, many of which allow people to transfer ZIP files to each other using email.
That means, he says, that MiMail.C "has the upper hand when infiltrating networks configured to allow ZIP attachments".
