Veritas, you're clueless. Yeah there is a new mysql worm out there. But your little Norton alerts you screamed about have nothing to do with it. Nor did the info you posted about it say anything about Nortons being the only thing finding it. That is a conclusion you made up to back up your rantings. I'm also pretty sure that all the papers I've read on this worm didn't say anything about druggies creating it in order to steal poser content. In addition IF and I repeat IF rendo was infected then only their root login would be in danger, not your PC unless you are running an unprotected mySql database. I also doubt that you have the technical background to judge the quality of any sites security measures regarding root/admin accounts or data security. What it comes down to is that you are trying to pass off information you read but obviously don't understand as back up for your parinoid rantings. That's wrong plain and simple.
