BREAKING NEWS: Sasser Goes Medium

McAfee has just upgraded W32/Sasser.worm (which uses MS04-011) to Medium risk reflecting the amount it has spread. I personally have received a number of reports of this worm being in the wild. All users should upgrade immediately. A new Stinger detection is available that covers this. Also, the Internet Storm Center has declared Infocon Yellow to reflect the global spread.
