Myfip Intellectual Property Theft Worm Analysis
Myfip is a network worm discovered in August of 2004. It didn't get an extreme amount of attention at the time, just a few articles talking about a new worm which stole PDF files. It wasn't terribly widespread or damaging, so it didn't rate very high on the antivirus companies' threat indicators. However, it is still worth paying attention to because the potential for damage to a company can actually be greater than with other worms. A Slammer or Blaster outbreak might take the network down for a while, but an incident like that can be recovered from. If the wrong document leaves your network it could have devastating consequences.
Typically when we think of IP theft, we think of the "inside job". However it is hard to pin down these types of theft to know when and where and to who it happens. We just don't know unless the theft is discovered after the fact. But Myfip is tangible; it's here and now, and could affect your network. And Myfip is by no means alone; we've seen over the last year a rash of targeted trojans which appear to be designed solely for the purpose of intellectual property theft.
