A quick daily update today. Symantec has now named Sober.Q (aka .R) to be a low-medium (2) risk, although McAfee maintains it at Medium. It looks like this one is not going to be a huge outbreak. More coverage of Sober.R should be available tomorrow as we start to see reports on spread rates coming in. Symantec's write-up of Sober.R, which they call Sober.Q, can be found here.
Also in news today, a small percentage of the Internet was taken down today. This was not security-related as many feared, but instead due to a contract dispute between two major service providers. Full details can be found here.
